Help us comfort homeless pets...
Comfort for Critters is a volunteer program that creates hand-made blankets to comfort animals living in homeless shelters. While these animals await adoption, the blankets provide a comfortable bed year-round.
When they are adopted, their blanket goes with them, providing something familiar as they adjust to their "forever family."

Why Blankets?
An animal's life can be challenging when they find themselves in a shelter. Despite heroic efforts by the staff and volunteers, it's extremely stressful as they are moved from cage to cage, and subjected to new sights and sounds on a daily basis. Having something to call their own, which provides warmth year-round (even against A/C in the summer!) familiar smells and a soft touch can make all the difference.
Once the animal is adopted their blanket provides a cushion against the (wonderful) stress of getting to know their new surroundings and family. Once again, their blanket provides something comforting and familiar.
