Finding loving homes for abandoned and homeless animals is one of Everman Animal Control's primary goals. Anything we can do to help this cause would be much appreciated by the people that work so hard at the shelter.

There are many ways to help the shelte - donating food, toys, blankets, etc. One great idea that would help out both the shelter AND the animal in need is donating your time in making CAGE COMFORTERS ! These comforters go in the cage/kennel and help make the animal comfortable, therefore more attractive to potential adopters. Seeing a cat or dog on a cute comforter is much more attractive than a pile of newspapers. When the animal is adopted, the comforter goes with him or her to its new home!

The comforters are very easy to make, using scrap material and batting. You don't need to be an expert sewer or especially crafty. Instructions are provided for these cage comforters, as well as "KITTY BALLS", for those of you who would rather crochet than sew! If you cannot donate time in making these comforters, then perhaps you could donate materials or a financial contribution.

If you have any questions or would like a set of simple instructions on making either of the above projects, please contact Toni Peres at City Hall (817/293-0525) or Thomas Newsom at Animal Control (817/561-5495).

Please help our furry friends find loving homes!

Thank you!
