Wish List

A huge range of equipment and supplies is needed to help PAWS care for homeless companion animals and injured or orphaned wildlife year-round. Each item donated saves precious financial resources, and helps offset the daily operating costs of our wildlife center and shelter.

Due to storage issues and health concerns, PAWS does not accept food that has been opened or is expired. You can contact feral cat groups, local food banks or the Doney Clinic in Seattle, which assists low-income pet guardians, as they may accept food that has been opened.

Help the dogs and cats in the shelter!
