Please Note: The shelter will no longer be using shreds in any of the small animal cages. Shreds are messy, and do not aid in the absorption of urine. They hide animals, making it very difficult for customers to see them and difficult for staff to find them. Shreds also make it very difficult to monitor food intake. |
