Blog: Pittsburgh Drop Off Site for Tiger Ranch Cats Donations  



PITTSBURGH DROP OFF POINT NOW AVAILABLE
FOR SUPPLIES FOR THE TIGER RANCH CATS!

Many of you have asked how you can donate supplies for the Tiger Ranch cats. Well, now you don't have to go any further than the East End of Pittsburgh... Our favorite construction materials supplier, Construction Junction, has graciously agreed to act as a drop-off / pick-up point for supplies for the Tiger Ranch cats currently being treated and cared for at the Clarion Shelter. The boxes will be checked daily and VFA volunteers will drive supplies up once or twice a week, according to needs.

If you would like to donate supplies for the cats in Clarion, you can take them to Construction Junction (address and opening hours below). The drop boxes are located to your right after you enter, behind and to the right of the large blackboard. Look out for a sign with a VFA logo by the boxes. If you are not familiar with Construction Junction, once you enter the parking lot, the main public entrance is about 2/3 down the lot to your left. 

WISH LIST:
Quality dry cat food (Iams, Science Diet, Purina...), any size
Canned cat food, any size (no generics please!)
Cat litter ("Yesterday's News" brand preferred - available at most Petsmart stores - but all brands welcome), any size

Dry food should be placed in the storage containers. Litter and canned food can be left by the boxes if the containers are fairly full. If anyone wants to donate and absolutely cannot get to Construction Junction, let us know by email or phone and we will try and arrange a home pick-up, where possible.

CONSTRUCTION JUNCTION
214 North Lexington Street
Pittsburgh 15208
(One block down from Penn Avenue, right up the street from East End Food Co-Op)

Monday through Friday:  8 am - 5 pm
Saturday   9 am - 5 pm
Sunday:  11 am - 4 pm


While you're there, take advantage of this opportunity to drop off recyclable items that aren't picked up on the curb side (office paper, junk mail, magazines, phone books, paperboard...), visit the FreeRide bicycle recycling workshop, or explore the fascinating aisles of Construction Junction itself...

Contact us if you have any questions. And feel free to let us know you've dropped off a donation. That will help us keep track of pick-up needs.

On behalf of the cats, thank you...
