Give A Little Bit! Last Minute Gift Ideas
Looking for last minute gift ideas for fellow cat lovers? You’ve come to the right place!
Give a gift donation! Give a truly meaningful gift that helps animals in need. It’s unique, perfect for the cat (or person) who already has everything, and it’s tax-deductible!
- If you gift a gift donation of $50 or more, the Humane Society will send the recipient an adorable plush “take along pet” - order by midnight, December 18th for delivery by Christmas. Get more info here or order by phone by calling 1-866-MY-FRIEND.
Another really great non profit that helps cats is the Alley Cat Allies - if you send a gift donation, they will send a special card to the honoree to let them know that you’ve donated on their behalf. Go and donate online at the Alley Cat Allies Site!
For more charities, check out our charities guide. Make sure you check out their rating on charity navigator or a similar third party site, so you know that your dollars are actually going to the cause and not to administrative costs!
Some other more conventional gift ideas…
