Kitten Season Donations Needed: We have created a plan with PetSmart, our pet store partner, to help keep it local and eliminate the need for our community members to leave their houses. You can order online to the Mankato store - we'll even give you the item numbers of the products we'd prefer - and then we'll pick it up at PetSmart using their curbside pick-up. In the photo you will find a list of the items we need and their PetSmart item number. When it asks who will pick the order up, just enter BENCHS. Please enter your email and phone number so you can get your receipt.
We know that times are tough right now, so we greatly appreciate any and all donations you are able to make. We're proud to be part of such a strong community who comes together in time of need.
If you prefer to order on Amazon, here is a link to our Kitten Season Wishlist in our business account. Be sure to shop through Amazon Smile and make BENCHS your designee. https://a.co/eVkN0tJ

ONLINE PRE-ADOPT FORMS
Completing a pre-adopt form gives BENCHS information about you as a pet owner and allows you to interact with the animals. You can complete one at the shelter or ahead of time by clicking the link below. Then come to the shelter where staff will review your information with you, determining approval for adoption. Sorry, we are not able to make contact regarding application approval. Completing this form does not place a hold on any certain animal.
