Marilyn says as long as her hands still work & she has her health, she will continue knitting and donating these tiny afghans to our Animal Control kitties -- her only limitation is yarn.

The shelter is therefore launching a plea for donations of yarn so that Marilyn can continue to knit or the cats.Their Facebook post asks anyone that has the means to donate to drop the yarn at Polk County Animal Control, at 7115 de Castro Road in Winterhaven, Florida.You can support (this organization) and the incredible work they do by clicking here, making a donation and helping them to continue saving animals.
