Are you a cat-lover looking for a way to help cats in shelters, without adopting another cat yourself?

There are actually many ways that you can help support cats in shelters. One easy way that I have found to help cats in animal shelters is by purchasing Cat’s Pride® litter for my cats at home.

With the Cat’s Pride Litter for Good™ program, each green jug of Cat’s Pride Fresh & Light® litter purchased, Cat’s Pride donates 1 pound of cat litter to an animal shelter.

Animal shelters are constantly going through litter, and I love how committed Cat’s Pride is to cats in need.

Plus, Cat’s Pride Fresh & Light litter is simply a great choice of kitty litter, even without considering their awesome Litter for Good initiative. It doesn’t send puffs of dust into the air as we fill the cat’s litter box, it is strong clumping which makes it easy to scoop, and it is great at keeping odors at bay.

With all these benefits, the decision of which cat litter to purchase for my cats is simple!

Another way to help cats in shelters is to donate goods yourself. Cat shelters can always use items such as blankets, cat food, and cat toys.

Today I want to share a super easy-to-make homemade cat toy idea with you that is great for making in bulk to donate to your local shelter.

There are millions of cats in animal shelters, and I am sure they many of them would love to have a cat toy  to play with – any cat toy. They don’t care if it it has fancy fabric and nicely sewn details.  So feel free to be like me and keep it simple.

DIY Cat Toy Supplies

First things first. Start by gathering your supplies for this easy DIY.

You will need:

  • Baby socks
  • Scrap paper / cardstock
  • String / yarn
  • Scissors

The thicker the paper you use is, the better. You want the toys to crinkle a bit when the cat swats at them. I used a couple cardstock advertisement mailers from our recycling pile.

How to Make Cat Toys

1. Tear the paper into smaller pieces and crumble it up a bit.

2. Stuff each baby sock with the crumpled up paper until it is about 2/3 of the way full.

That is it. See, I told you it was super simple!

  1. This is genius! We adopted a cat last Summer and she loves finding my son’s dirty socks..now I hope if I have mismatches I can create some of these for her!

  2. So true what you said about cats not caring what their toys look like. They play with cotton balls or balls of tinfoil after all! I LOVE your lighter colored cat, so beautiful!

  3. My cat just gave birth to only one kitten. I’ll definitely have to make this for him or her. 🐱
