Knit For Neglected Animals
Today is Make a Difference Monday...
Because we don't usually see them, it's easy to forget our animal friends in local shelters. Either lost or abandoned, these animals are very frightened as they find themselves locked up in lonely cages in an unfamiliar building away from their family.
You can do your part to help soothe these scared dogs and cats with your knitting. Local animal shelters are usually very happy to receive hand-knit items for the shelter. They've discovered that the animals adapt better and faster if they have a toy to play with or a blanket to snuggle into.
Local animal shelters are usually always strapped for funds so they can't provide these creature comforts themselves. That's where knitters come in. Knit up a few kitty beds, puppy pads, blankets, or even cat hammocks and make these frightened animals feel at home.
