For the third year in a row I've invited some friends over and asked them to each bring a yard of fun fleece from which we make 2 cat beds for the Animal Humane Society.
Here's the invite I sent out.
These blankets are really simple and I'm sure others have seen these made out of outrageous fun fleece. There are some good instructions online. We're using a yard of fleece to make 2 beds, so they're quite small, but perfect for purrs. The best part is how many goofy fleece fabrics are out in the world and seeing what patterns friends found and chose (sombreros! dogs working out?! trippy paisley! pirates! koi fish!) for the cats' beds.
We made 35 beds this year! That's a record.
The Humane Society will put a blanket in each cat's cage when they're on the adoption floor. It helps them to have a snuggly place to sleep and makes them feel more at home while they wait for a family.
It was a great afternoon of visiting, laughing and making for a reason which left a wonderful feeling inside of all of us.
