I was wondering if I could donate some clumping cat litter, and if so when is it best to do this? I would take it to Save a Pet, but I believe they only want non-clumping, and I’m sure your pet owners could use it. Please let me know, thank you.
Beth, I am so sorry for the delay. I just saw your comment now. If you ever have extra cat litter to donate, we will take it! We are located at 256 Commerce Drive, Grayslake. Thank you!
I have been on workmans comp for three months now , not yet received $$ from department of labor. I have 2 cats and 2dogs. My daughter has 2 cats just started a job. We are looking to find food until I can get back to work by May. Do you have one time deals? Very desperate
Carole, my sincerest apologies for the delayed response. I did not see your comment until now. If you are still in need of food, the Lake County Pet Food Pantry is open on Saturdays from 9am – 12pm. We are located at 256 Commerce Drive, Grayslake. Please bring a copy of your ID to show proof of Lake County residence and your vaccinations. If you have any questions, please call us at (847) 548-2275. Thank you.
Hi. I was wondering if you knew of a vet that would see my cat for free. She is itchy and Full of scabs. No Sign of bugs. I am unemployed and looking for Work. There is no one to help me with vet bIlls. I love my daughter cat, Mickey Dearly
Hi Linda,
I’m sorry I do not know of any vets that do free services. I would contact Lake County Animal Control at (847) 377-4700. They might know of someone. Good luck!
