Culpeper County Animal Services lists urgent supply needs as kitten season begins
Summary
Culpeper County Animal Services told the Rules Committee it is running short on specific supplies and listed urgently needed items including labeled pet food, disinfectants, towels (no knitted items), syringes, medication, carriers and kitten milk replacer for kitten season.
Culpeper County Animal Services told the Rules Committee it needs a steady flow of specific supplies to operate the shelter safely and effectively, and staff provided a detailed list the committee agreed should be published with guidance for donors.
Miss Robinson said the shelter needs labeled, unopened and unexpired cat and dog food and treats; disinfectants (the shelter uses a brand called Rescue), bleach, disinfectant wipes and laundry detergent; clean towels and blankets (no frayed or knitted items that can be ingested); paper towels, disposable litter boxes and Dawn dish soap; plastic gloves; 3 ml and 1 ml syringes for vaccines and medication; enrichment items such as peanut butter, Kongs and catnip; pill pockets; durable chew toys; flea/tick and deworming medications; puppy pads, carriers and crates; and kitten milk replacer for kitten season.
Staff emphasized safety limits (for example, no knitted items or toys with small plastic pieces) and said publishing the draft donation guidance will help donors provide usable supplies.
