The Montgomery County Animal Shelter is always looking for donations of items you may not have thought of. Here is a list of items that they are always in need of:
Kuranda Dog Beds
With the recent facility expansion, one of our shelter’s needs is additional beds. Kuranda beds get the animals off the floors when they lie down and provide many other benefits related to the care of sheltered pets. Visit the Kuranda Dog Bed Web site for more information and to find out more about donating this item to MCAS.

Towels, blankets, and quilts
The shelter can never have enough towels and blankets! Contact your friends, relatives, and neighbors for good, used towels for bathing and bedding. Also, check with some of your local thrift stores for resale items or local stores where you shop for discounted towels, sheets and blankets.

Pet food, treats, and stainless steel food/water dishes
Ask your local stores for discounts on pet foods and supplies bought for the shelter and invite them to provide donations. You might be pleasantly surprised at their generosity and compassion! Nutritious dry and wet canned foods for both cats and dogs are always welcome contributions to the food pantry. Small kibble puppy food and kitty pâté are in short supply during the late spring and summer, when the shelter receives so many litters of unwanted babies.
Pet carriers, wire crates, and portable play yards
Portable pet carriers and crates are needed to transport pets to veterinarians, off-site adoptions or for use in foster care. Portable play yards (plastic or wire fencing that snaps together) are useful in the pet visitation areas, bath areas, and puppy room at the shelter as a place for puppies and kittens to play or meet their potential new owners.
Shampoos and other grooming items
Flea shampoo, medicated shampoo for soothing the itch, coat conditioners, brushes, and Dawn liquid dish washing detergent are needed year round in addition to Capstar Flea preventive.
Toys!
Durable plastic or hard rubber toys that can be quickly and easily disinfected are the best, especially for the puppies. Kitty balls and other cat toys are great for our feline friends and Frisbees and rope chews are perfect for our older canine “kids.” In the heat of summer, small baby pools for outdoor playtime and just beating the heat make those “dog days” more bearable!
Cleaning supplies
Bleach solution, mops, brooms, buckets and pails, squeegees, sponges, laundry detergent, paper towels, antibacterial hand wipes, and lots of Tidy Cat Kitty Litter are needed.
The shelter is located at: 8535 Texas 242 Conroe, TX 77385
Stop by and drop some things off they would love it!
