Furry Friends Giving Trees 2025 underway

Community members invited to help Furry Friends volunteers this Holiday Season with annual Giving Tree Fundraiser

The holidays are a special time of year, and at Furry Friends, volunteers are excited to invite you to take part in our seasonal fundraiser, Giving Tree. The annual Christmas supply drive, Giving Trees, helps Furry Friends volunteers gather essential items for the cats and kittens in their care throughout the holiday season. Local businesses proudly host a “Giving Tree,” offering their employees, customers, and clients a chance to see our most needed supplies, make donations, and drop them off in designated donation bins at their locations.  

This season is especially important for Furry Friends because every dollar saved on supplies allows the organization to dedicate more resources to the care and rehabilitation of the cats and kittens at the shelter.  

Now comes the best part — shopping! Furry Friends provides a Wish List filled with urgently needed items that caring individuals like you can purchase and then bring to any of their host locations to drop off.
