The CatToys.com company motto, Because Every Cat Needs Cat Toys, means a little bit more when you apply it to our Toys For Pets Program. The Toys For Pets Program allows customers like you to quickly and easily add a small donation whenever you place an order at CatToys.com. The proceeds from all toy donations are sent out to shelters and rescues across the country that are awaiting  your donations.

For some cats this will be their first experience with toys. Can you believe that? A life without cat toys? Sending toys to shelters gives them the opportunity to play with the cats and kittens which helps socialize them. Socializing the cats helps them get a forever home.

If you know a shelter or a rescue group that could benefit from our program please have them stop by our website for more information and an application.

Here are a few of the shelters and rescues we have recently sent donations.

Thanks to everyone who donated for making the lives of these animals a little brighter until they find their forever homes.

It is Spring time and we all know as the weather warms up our cats are on the prowl for anything that moves.

That includes bugs.

Bugs are also a popular cat toy format too. CatToys.com has plenty to offer your little bug hunter.

Check out the new KONG Fuzz Bugs, which are actually two toys in one. You have the way cool buggy body and attached to that is a rattle ball on a bungee! The bungee and ball are attached with Velcro so they can be removed at any time.

But if your kitty is really looking for something a little more interactive and life-like in their bug toys, check out the NEKO FLIES cat toys. These are really great. We have bundled all the great Neko Flies bugs into one package. You’ll get creeping bugs, flying bugs and even feather tailed bugs for your cat to go crazy about.

We know you’ll enjoy your cat wanting to play with these toys over the real thing.

Here are the CatToys.com Recipients for November/December:

We helped Boris Kitty raise funds to help two local cats that were shot with a pellet gun by an unknown assailant.  Boris was able to raise $1200. The funds were given to the owner of Peanut to help reduce the financial burden of the vet bills from the incident. While Kritter Kondos, treats and toys were given to Kiki and Peanut to keep the happy and safe.

Thanks to our great customers we were able to donate $125 in cash to Boris Kitty’s drive.

Halloween can be a scary time, especially if your a cat. Here are a few helpful tips to keep your kitty safe this Halloween.

Keep your cats indoors this weekend. This can be a dangerous time of year outside for cats and dogs, but especially black cats as they are often the targets of pranksters or worse.

Watch those opening doors. Cats are sneaky by nature and will slip out an open door as soon as they spot an opportunity. Close them off in an unused room during parties or while trick-or-treaters are at the house. (Kritter Kondos work inside too.) Maybe leave the TV or radio on for them so they are not spooked by all the strange noises in their once docile domicile.

Make sure they are wearing their collars with proper ID on them and not some humiliating and restricting costume. For the most part cats don’t like to wear costumes so don’t force the issue and stress them out. No collar? Then make sure they are microchipped so they can be brought home safely if lost.

Candy can be dangerous so keep it out of your pet’s reach. Not only can chocolate be toxic to animals but the wrappers can cause serious injury if ingested.

Decorate with your pets in mind. Kitty-proof your house this Halloween. Don’t use an open flame they are too easy for a cat to knock over and start a fire. There are plenty of LED alternatives out there to keep your cat and your house safe. Fake spider webs and other decorations with dangling strings are often too much of a temptation for cats who can become entangled and injured.

Have a Happy & Safe Halloween!

See what a little Zoom Around the Room Catnip from Fat Cat did for this kitty? Tally Ho got so so crazy about this catnip he ripped the packaging up to get to it. Photo and package were sent into us by Tally Ho’s owner Barbara.

To help reduce the estimated 500,000 pets affected by home fires each year, The American Kennel Club and ADT Security Services today launched the “National Pet Fire Safety Day.” This nationwide awareness day educates pet owners about potential risks when pets are left home alone and provides them with proven prevention measures to ensure their safety.

According to a recent AKC study, 88 percent of pet owners consider their pets to be valued family members so it makes sense to include them in fire prevention plans and rescue alerts should a house fire strike.

Nearly 1,000 house fires each year are accidentally started by the homeowners’ pets. Learn how to prevent a fire that might be started by your pet and protect your pets with a Pet Alert Decal today!
