WISH LIST
Thank you so much for considering a donation to NAPS. The support you provide by purchasing items from this list has a direct impact on the quality of life for the animals in our care & the volunteers caring for them. These items range from necessary pet & shelter maintenance supplies, to little extras that offer special moments for animals awaiting a second chance at happiness. Every little bit helps.
GIFT CARDS
Even though most of our animals needs are predictable, sometimes things come up suddenly & volunteers appreciate being able to run out and grab specific items as needed. Gift Cards are a great way to help out in this area! Re-gift ones you cant use, or pick one out just for us - either way, it really helps us out! Gift cards we can put to good use are:

CANINE NEEDS
Our newly completed Canine Unit is in need of basic supplies, as we had previously not collected items for this area of the shelter - its NEW after all! Items desperately needed are highlighted in bold.

FELINE NEEDS
NAPS takes in hundreds of felines each year in an effort to reduce stray & feral populations & assist with owner surrenders, TNR Programs, Barn Cat Programs & much more. Handling that many cats means the requirement of LOTS of supplies - many of which need frequent replacement. Check out the list below to see which items the shelter could most use to keep things running smoothly. Items we need the most are in bold.

OFFICE NEEDS
Paperwork, record keeping, marketing and administration are all an important part of running a non-profit society. Our brand new facility has an animal free space just for this purpose. Having never had this type of space before, we are excited to have a dedicated area to get some important work done, but require some office supplies to make it work. Below is a list of items we would love to receive.

CLEANING SUPPLIES
Where there are animals, there are messes. Volunteers spend the majority of their time at the shelter cleaning, sterilizing and washing to prevent the spread of disease/viruses and make sure our animals are comfortable and healthy. This means we go through ALOT of cleaning supplies. Below is a list of items we frequently require. Items in bold are items we go through quickly.
LINENS
Linens such as towel, tea towels, dishcloths, sheets, blankets and comforters are always appreciated and can help with cleaning tasks and also to help keep our animals comfy whether they are kenneled for medical observation or lounging in the open concept spaces. Most linen items will be accepted providing they are in good condition. We cannot accept pillows or cushions due to their inability to be washed.
AMAZON WISH LIST
We put together a quick Amazon Wish List for those who prefer to shop online. Each items was specifically chosen with our animals in mind, and likely wouldn't need to be purchased more than once.
SPECIAL ITEMS
Some things do not require frequent purchase, but are very necessary to our daily operations. Even so, taking funds away from the animal based programs for extras, regardless how wanted they are, always makes us feel guilty. If someone was kind enough to donate any one of these special items to us, it would be quite the Christmas gift for the shelter volunteers and animals!
