Can You Sew? Cat Blankets Needed At King County Shelter
The cats are cold! Regional Animals Services of King County is looking for donors to make cat blankets.
RENTON, WA - Regional Animal Services of King County (RASKC) has put out a call for local sewing enthusiasts to donate their time to make blankets for shelter cats. The blankets are tiny, but will keep shelter cats just a little more cozy this winter.
Interested? Here's the request from RASKC:
RASKC is now accepting with gratitude donations of cat cozy blankets. There are sewing and non-sewing options.

- If you sew, make the blankets either of these two sizes: 22” x 18” and/or 10” x 18.”
- If you make the blankets without sewing, by creating fringe and tying it (like in the photo), you would cut the material for larger blankets as 25”x 21” and for smaller blankets as 13”x 21." It’s very important that the fringe is very tightly tied together. Loose fringe can be hazardous to cats. Please watch this training video.
s. If you bring in the blankets to RASKC/ Kent, please do so in the afternoon unless you work a morning shift at the shelter
If you would like to host a cat blanket-making party in your home, at a library meeting room, or at PIMA on the RASKC campus, please contact Volunteer Program Manager Sarah Luthen.Image via Shutterstock
