Like every non-profit organization, Grant County Animal Outreach relies on our community’s donations to supplement items for the animal’s needs. If you’d like to help out here’s a wish list of GCAO’s most needed items.
Cat and kitten needs: These items are used year round for cats and kittens. Items denoted with an asterisk* are used year round, but are consistently ‘high needs’ items during spring and summer:
- Dry cat and kitten food**
- Canned cat and kitten food**

Enrichment needs: These supplies are used to create enrichment items for our animals. Enrichments are treats or puzzles created to break up boredom and keep minds busy. Since they are used daily (we currently strive to provide five enrichments per animal, per day), they are always ‘high needs’ items.
