Operation Happy Sock creates and delivers catnip toys to homeless cats in animal shelters. Our volunteers make simple toys, called "Happy Socks," by putting catnip in the toe of an old sock and tying a knot at the ankle.

We welcome donated socks that meet these guidelines:

• Clean – please run them through the washer first.
• Sweat socks and fuzzy socks are terrific!
• Any size (baby and kids’ sizes too) are welcome.
• Very thin synthetics or nylons aren’t durable enough.
• Even socks with holes are fine – we are experts at making a toy from almost any sock!

It’s time to clean out that sock drawer and admit that all those lone socks will probably never meet their mates again. Give 'em a second life as a Happy Sock!

We will collect socks at the Service Area meetings each month until February. We are also asking for donations of catnip, polyester fiberfill, and pet food. Troops who make a donation will receive a picture and thank you card from one of our lucky kitties!

Thank you on behalf of homeless cats everywhere!
