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).
  • K-State Student Union: Drop off location just outside the Cats' Den.
