Your patronage of The Thrifty Kitty supports the homeless pets being cared for at Friends of the Alameda Animal Shelter (FAAS). To donate items, you must schedule a drop-off appointment. Sorry, no walk-ins. Park behind 1509 Webster Street next to the orange poles and we will sort your items. Please be prepared to take all boxes and packaging back to recycle at home.

You can still support Friends of the Alameda Animal Shelter by selling your item through Sell for Good, a service provided by the NextDoor social network. Here's how.
