As you finishing checking off your holiday shopping list, we encourage you to add one or two more animals in need to your list.

Orphaned, stray, and homeless animals are all on the nice list and deserve something special this holiday season. With your support, The Animal Rescue Site works hard all year to provide essential supplies to animals in need.

The need is greater than ever as bitter cold temperatures spread across the country and shelters are overflowing with homeless animals. Learn how you can make a difference by purchasing one of the following gifts below.

Formula for Orphaned Kittens & Puppies

Orphaned kittens and puppies who arrive at shelters need formula replacement and constant care for the best chance at survival. 

Sadly, many shelters are underfunded and unable to provide enough formula, bottles, and necessary supplies to go around. Millions of kittens and puppies enter shelters nationwide in need of urgent care. 

Help shelters care for orphaned or sick kittens and puppies in need of formula to survive. This holiday season give the best gift, saving a sweet puppy or kitten's life!

Blankets for Homeless People & Pets

Severe winter weather spreads across the country bringing below freezing temperatures and snow. Sadly, homelessness is at an all-time high. People will choose to stay on the streets with their loyal pets than leave them behind to go to a homeless shelter. 

Blankets are one of the most critical supplies that relief organizations need to support the unhoused or those lacking heat. They provide immediate relief to people and pets in crisis.

By giving a single full-sized blanket, multiple blankets, or a pet blanket, you can generously support those in need. Your contribution will significantly impact someone's life. Help us provide 10,000 blankets to those in need.

Warm Shelters for Stray Cats

An estimated 60-100 million homeless cats live in the United States. There are some felines who prefer life outdoors and cannot be socialized, but that doesn't mean they should not have proper shelter from the harsh winter weather. 

You can help cash-strapped volunteer and rescue organization care for these cats by sending vital supplies: 

• Shelter - These sturdy, water resistant cat houses are insulated and stackable. They provide community cats with a safe and hygienic home to protect them from the elements. It offers the cats shade in the summer and shelter from wind and other extreme winter, fall and spring weather.
• Shelter & Supplies - Provide community cats with shelter plus flea and tick medication and two cat food/water bowls.
• Complete Comfort Kit - Give a cat house or crate, two cat bowls for food and water, and a cozy blanket and self-warming mat.
• Warmth- Blankets and self-warming mats are some of the most requested items by animal welfare groups caring for community cats.

Help us give these poor cats the shelter and care they deserve.

Essential Supplies to Rescued Horses

Horses are gentle giants who sadly end up at rescues due to no fault of their own. Some are neglected or injured, while others are surrendered when their owner can no longer care for them. 

Each year, roughly 200,000 horses arrive at rescues. They deserve proper care, which can be costly. 

Rescue organizations work tirelessly to provide shelter, food, and veterinary support — but essential supplies stretch their budgets to the limit. From fly spray and halters to blankets and buckets, supplies are used repeatedly until worn out, making ongoing support critical to the horses' recovery.

Toys & Treats for Shelter Pets 

Animal shelters are filled with good boys and girls who all deserve a stocking full of toys and treats. However, shelters are already spending their minimal budgets on food and care and unable to afford these luxuries. 

That's where you can step in and be "Jolly Old St. Nicholas" by gifting toys and treats to shelter pets.  Donate today. 

As always, your purchase at The Animal Rescue Site will help feed hungry shelter pets. Please continue to help animals in need by clicking daily on our site, playing trivia, become a Guardian, and so much more. 

Your support means the world to us and them. Happy Holidays!
