The people at the humane society liked the pads because they fit the cages and they didn't have to mess with folding up towels and old bed sheets that others donated. They said the cute prints made the "cats look More adoptable"
Our Humane society also has a guardian angel program where for $30 you help to feed and care for an animal for 1 month. They pick out which pet your money will go to and then they put it on their site along with the guardians name as sponsoring them - I have done that a couple of times in memory of my past pets.
And 1 1/2 years ago, they built a brand new humane society which is really beautiful - some lady who loved animals died of cancer and left 1.5 million dollars towards this new humane society(she had become ill during the planning of it and that is what she decided to do) - how awesome is that
Anyway, they were offering different options to the public to also donate and one of them was that you could purchase a 12 x 12 inch floor tile for $125 and have inscribed on it, anything you wanted. So I purchased one in memory of my cat Sam because he had just passed away. It is so neat because the humane socity is so beautiful and they have this lovely floor filled with memory tiles that people purchased for their beloved pets. So Sam's name and our names are on this tile and a special "sentiment" to him that we had put on there; and it will be part of that forever.
They also had memory garden stones for their outdoor pathways for purchase at a lower price, and some other options for people also.
