Hey! We regularly walk in to work finding abandoned donations outside our building. They get picked through, thrown around, even urinated (!) upon. Please, please stop leaving donations unattended. It’s wasteful & extra work for the staff. If you cannot drop off during operational hours (which includes Sundays) please email [email protected] to make other arrangements 😊

Missing feral cats - Bodega (tuxedo with irregular mustache - about 8 pounds, clipped left ear) & Meeko (black with tiny white chest patch - about 8 pounds, clipped left ear). Neither will allow a collar, both chipped. Bodega last seen at Rockwell/21st St on Sat 6/8 & didn’t return after noisy fireworks. Meeko last seen Weds 6/19 - refusing to stay inside after Bodega was lost. They are a bonded pair, together since babies. Unfortunately they are feral and unwilling to stay inside 100% - they have a cat door. Pls do not chase if you see them, just DM the pantry. Thank you!
