Making a Donation
About 50% of our product comes from individual donations from community members who care! We rely on these donations greatly and appreciate each item donated.
- Cats' Cupboard: Donations can be dropped off anytime at Cats' Cupboard.
- During regular hours of operation: Feel free to use our designated, reserved parking space in the circle drive outside Fairchild Hall. Look for a meter with a red bag labeled "Cats' Cupboard". You are welcome to bring your donation right into the Cupboard (009 Fairchild) where our friendly staff can give you a donation receipt.
- Outside hours of operation: The doors to Fairchild Hall remain unlocked. You are welcome to leave your donation in front of the door to Cats' Cupboard (009 Fairchild).
