Donate to Our Shelter Wish List Posted on October 24, 2020 We understand some people prefer to donate to us by buying specific goods rather than giving cash donations. During these challenging times of COVID-19, safety is our priority. As such, we’re changing the way we accept donations of goods. There are many items that we currently cannot accept. We ask for your help in keeping our waste costs as low as possible by not donating items that we would have to pay to dispose of. Please note, we are currently not accepting: Tea towels, pillowcases, doona covers, flat or fitted sheets, table cloths, pillows or doonas. We do accept shredded paper however it cannot be finely shredded as is clogs the drains We cannot accept: Mattresses Pillows or pillowcases Opened bags of pet food or treats Used litter trays Used cat scratching posts Curtains or rugs Animal costumes Tea towels Pillowcases Doona covers Doonas Flat or fitted sheets Table cloths Pillows Before visiting one of our sites with your donation, please get in touch with our Contact Centre by email on mail@rspcansw.org.au or call 9770 7555 ahead of time. This way, we can be prepared to accept your donation and make sure it is put to the best use. To guide you in selecting the items that we really need but can’t afford, we’ve created a wish list. By identifying items our shelters would like, your donation will go directly to the animals, staff and volunteers who need them most.
