Donate Yarn

Got yarn? We'll take it.

Partial skeins, leftover stash, estate-sale treasures — if it's clean and pet-safe, our volunteers will loop it into a shelter blanket. Your closet clean-out becomes a cat's new favorite nap spot.

What to give

Super bulky (weight 6–7) machine-washable yarn is our favorite, plus blankets & towels in good shape.

Drop off

Community bins at partner pet stores and libraries across Lake Mary, Sanford, DeBary & Longwood — new locations monthly.

Ship it

Mail yarn and linens to our volunteer sorting hub. Message us for the current shipping address.

Host a bin

Schools, offices, and shops can host a collection bin. We'll brand it, pick it up, and shout you out.
