Due to a large number of cats being housed at the St. Joseph Animal Shelter its supply of kitty litter is running low and it’s asking the public for help.

According to a news release, donations of non-clumping cat litter are being requested to aid the shelter in its effort to provide temporary housing for 54 cats.

“We have received a limited amount of litter through community and business donations, which we appreciate greatly, but due to the number of cats we currently have it has been difficult to keep up. We appreciate all who provide donations and assistance,” said Stephanie Malita, Public Information Officer with the City of St. Joseph Health Dept.

Anyone who wants to assist is asked to contact Jenna Keyes with the St. Joseph Animal Shelter at (816) 271-5327.
