It's the season of giving! Fangirls and boys, let's share our passion for life, love, and music to our brothers at Gawad Kalinga and shelter animals at PAWS. Our beneficiaries will also be accepting in-kind donations at #KPOPCON5 on Dec 28.  -------------- For in-kind donations that we need for the Philippine Animal Welfare Society Animal Rehab Center: - Dog food (kibble and canned) - Catfood (kibble and canned) - Kennel cabs, carriers or cages - Vaccines, medicine, surgical materials/equipment, pet vitamins which you think our shelter animals can use. - Scratching posts for the cats - Chew toys for dogs Besides feeding and taking care of our shelter animals, there's always a lot of cleaning to be done at the PAWS shelter - so if you're thinking of what the best thing you could give us besides dogfood, catfood and animal accessories, on top of our list is DETERGENT POWDER and BLEACH to disinfect our animal areas. No matter how much and how often you give detergent powder, for as long as we have live animals in our shelter, we would always need it. Other things we need to clean our animal areas: - dishwashing paste or liquid (kitty & doggie bowls need constant cleaning too!) - clean old towels or rags, or foot rugs, or anything we can use to line their plastic pans that the kitties use as "cat beds" (they all huddle & crowd in these "cat beds" at night ) - walis tingting - alcohol, cotton and toilet paper for our clinic and sickbay areas - old newspaper to line the cages in our feline quarantine and sickbay areas - garbage bags (XXL) You can drop off your donation at the GK & PAWS Counter, located near the entrance.  The 5th Philippine Kpop Convention, fandom for a cause.
