🍂🐾 It’s officially giving season! And what better way to give back than by helping the shelter pets who need us most?

With the holiday season upon us and Friends of Manatee County Animal Welfare’s Friendsgiving right around the corner, we’re asking our incredible community to help us spread a little extra love to the cats and kittens in our care at Manatee County Animal Welfare!

As more animals come through our doors, we’re going through essential supplies faster than expected. Your donations help us keep our shelter stocked and ensure our cats and kittens, including those receiving medical care, have what they need.

🐱 Our current wish list includes:

* Tiki Cat wet food (any variety)
* Ge**er Chicken and Gravy baby food
* Sweet Sue Chunk White Chicken in Water
* Meow Mix Kitten dry food
* Tiki Cat Baby Thrive
* INABA Churu treats

🎁 Giving is easy! Shop our Amazon Wish List and have donations shipped directly to Bishop Animal Shelter:

Prefer to drop off a donation? Visit Bishop Animal Shelter at 5718 21st Ave. W., Bradenton, FL 34209, during normal business hours.

Every donation, big or small, makes a difference for the animals counting on us. ❤️

This giving season, help us fill their bowls, warm their hearts, and make their wait for a forever home a little brighter.

Can’t donate? Sharing this post is another wonderful way to give! 🐾

Happy Halloween from MCAW!

Halloween can be scary for pets, so keep them safe this weekend.

🍫 Keep candy out of reach, since chocolate and sugar-free treats are toxic
🚪 Lock gates and watch the door when trick-or-treaters ring
🏠 Keep pets indoors in a quiet room
🏷️ Make sure ID tags and microchips are up to date
🎃 Keep candles and decorations out of paw's reach

If your pet eats something they shouldn't, call your vet right away.

Halloween is tomorrow, but finding your 'boo' never goes out of season! 👻🐾

Happy National Cat Day! 🐱

For this year's we've put together our favorites of silly faces our past and present Cat Town residents have made! People may think cats are the "fancy" companion, poised and perfect... well, we know the truth. They're just all silly little guys on the inside! (And sometimes outside too) We hope you enjoy our collection of perfectly timed silly resident photos! 📸

While most of the residents pictured in this post have found their furrever homes, we still have some looking. If a kitty photo in this post has a heart in the top right corner, they still need to be adopted!

Below is a list with the matching color heart for our current feline residents at Cat Town:
💜 Faye
💛 Herby
❤️ Jasper
🧡 Ellie

See a heart on a silly kitty you'd like to meet? Stop by Cat Town and help give them their furrever home!

Meet Honey!

This 3-year-old Shepherd mix is as sweet as her name suggests! Honey loves attention, enjoys spending time with people, and is a BIG fan of drinking water (and chasing the water) straight from the hose.

She’s got plenty of puppy energy and is ready for someone who will help her learn, grow and reach her full doggy potential. With the right family by her side, Honey has so much love and fun to share!

Come meet her at Bishop Animal Shelter!

🚨 URGENT: NEONATAL KITTEN FOSTERS NEEDED! 🍼🐱

Tiny kittens. Around-the-clock needs. A lifesaving difference only a foster can make.

Manatee County Animal Welfare urgently needs fosters for neonatal kittens who are too young to eat on their own. These fragile babies need bottle-feeding, warmth, and attentive care, including overnight feedings, to help them grow.

If you have experience caring for bottle babies, we especially need your help!

📧 If you can foster, please contact Lauren Tryon at [email protected] right away.

Can’t foster? Share this post to help us reach someone who can. Your share could help a tiny kitten get the care they need. 🐾
