Over 11,700 lost or abandoned animals visited the Long Beach shelter last year, prompting a need for Kuranda beds for dogs and cats.
"Clean beds and blankets make for healthier animals", says John Keisler, Animal Care Services manager.
The goal for 2010 is to put a bed in every dog kennel and cat cage at the shelter. So far, about half the cats and a quarter of the dogs have beds.
Donating is easy: Visit http://kuranda.com/donate/4266; Select "Donate Now"; Choose cats or dogs and enter your credit card information
