Be Kind Partners with The Healthy Animal Partner for Cat Food, Supplies Drive for Animal Shelter

ROBBINSVILLE, NJ — To help meet the needs of the cats currently under the care of the Hamilton Township Animal Shelter and Adoption Center, the area non-profit Be Kind is partnering with The Healthy Animal of Robbinsville for a donation collection of cat food, kitty litter, cat toys and supplies. The Center recently announced that the shelter had a busy month during which a large number of cats were brought in. Items on the shelter’s donation wish list are dry and wet cat food, kitty litter, cat toys, treats, cat nip, towels, small blankets, beds, and cat carriers,

“It’s been a way to bring like-minded people together for charitable initiatives, to create lasting change in their lives and communities,” said Cindy Rosen, secretary of Be Kind. “In the past 10 months we have held several End Hunger community meal packing and fundraising events resulting in over 60,000 non-perishable meals donated to local food banks and pantries in the Mercer County area.”

“This new partnership with The Healthy Animal of Robbinsville will help expand our anti-hunger mission to include beloved feline companions,” added Be Kind volunteer Kim Swartz. 

The donation drive will run until Tuesday, June 8.

Donations can be brought to The Healthy Animal, located at 1049 Washington Boulevard in Robbinsville, between 10:00a.m and 7:00p.m. Monday through Saturday and 10:00p.m. and 3:00p.m. on Sunday. The store is committed to pet nutrition and wellness and sell healthy, natural, and holistic food, treats, supplements, and toys to enhance the lives of dogs and cats. 

Donations also can be dropped off at, or shipped directly to, Be Kind volunteers Bill Coleman (38 Mulberry Court, Mercerville, NJ 08619), Kim Swartz (133 Elton Ave, Yardville, NJ 08620), or Cindy Rosen (4 Eisenhower Drive, Robbinsville, NJ 08691.) 

Be Kind, Inc was formed in July 2020 to help fight food insecurity during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

In addition, a Facebook event and fundraising page has been established..  The first $500 in donations received will be matched by Be Kind, Inc!  Additional community-service partnerships and matching pledges in support of this Cat Food and Supplies Collection Drive also are welcome.
