Daily Draw: Santa Fe Tarot ~ 6 of Cups/Buffalo
Two in the hand are worth four in the bush for this traveling Yei?
Remember when we made sure we had a couple quarters in the car and in the pocket in case we needed a phone?
I'm reminded by this card, my first thought was 'I clearly have enough'.
Second thought 'but if I give one away I won't'.
Third thought 'there are more where that came from, I can see that'.
That second thought embarrassed and surprised me.
My stingy bone needs flexed and loosened up. Time to do our $$$ donation to the local animal shelter. We have so much and they have such a tight budget. How many ways can we save and comfort an animal's life today?
#5 Cleaning Supplies
Basic cleaning supplies are always welcome. Dish-washing liquid is needed for cleaning bowls and kitchen utensils. Laundry detergent is always a hot commodity in an animal shelter, where mountains of laundry are commonplace. And bleach is a required cleaning supply at animal shelters.
#4 Treats
Treats help for training and for rewarding good behavior in the shelter. Unopened jars of peanut butter, meaty type jerky training treats, and unopened bags of cat treats, dental chews, catnip, and other treats make great donations.
#3 Toys
Cat toys, dog toys, rabbit chew sticks, Kongs, etc., are always welcome. A bored caged animal makes for an awful existence. Having toys for dogs and fuzzy mice or scratching posts for cats helps make their stay at the shelter a little more tolerable. Birds and other small animals will appreciate toy donations as well, so don’t forget to see if the shelter has a need for those, too.
#2 Fresh Linen
If you’re looking to clean out your linen closet, feel free to donate whatever items you no longer need. Clean towels, blankets, and sheets can be used as bedding materials for cats and dogs, so the fluffier the better. Of course, actual dog beds and cat beds are always received with open arms as well
#1 Money!
Monetary donations are always first and foremost on any shelter’s wish list. Monetary donations allow for animal shelters to treat ill or injured animals that come to the shelter as a result of abandonment or cruelty cases. Additionally, a lot of non-profit animal shelters rely on monetary donations to remain open and to help the community at large.
Thank you...
