Catnip Wants Your Unwanted Snuggies
Every weekend members of the Alexandria Animal League will introduce us to some adoptable pets
In this week's Patch Pets, Suzanne D'Alonzo introduces us to Catnip, a four-year-old cat and Snuggie toy model.
That's right. The Animal Welfare League of Alexandria is asking for donated Snuggie fleece material for the shelter's youth volunteers to fashion into "kittywands" and braided tug toys. Polarfleece makes a great toy for pets because it doesn't fray, according to D'Alonzo, and it cleans very well in the washer.
"We don’t want folks to buys Snuggies," D'Alonzo said, "but if there is a Snuggie around the house that doesn’t get used/that came as a gag gift, we’d like to turn it into cat, dog, and rabbit toys!"
