One of ACR’s volunteer trappers, Christi Fries, also operates Terrapin
Pets, a pet sitting business located in Beltsville, MD, and she was so
kind to gather donations for local animal rescue groups.
From June until the end of October, Terrapin Pets gathered items such
as blankets, beds, toys, crates, scratching posts, dishes, litter
boxes, etc, for the “Presents 4 Pets” campaign sponsored by the
National Association of Professional Pet Sitters (NAPPS). This annual
collection drive benefited pets in shelters by providing items
desperately needed to help keep the shelters operational and their
animals comfortable and safe.
According to Christi, Terrapin Pets cleaned, logged, and staged 1681
items, with a Salvation Army value of $3618.00! After receiving a
slide show of the donations, Alley Cat Rescue, College Park Animal
Shelter, and Greenbelt Animal Shelter submitted their "wish list" so
items could be distributed per their needs.

Park. K.C. Company, Inc, the area's Pella Window and Door Distributor,
a truck and driver was donated to help Christi deliver the presents to
the pets during the first week in November. On Nov. 6th, excitement
was in the air when a large box truck pulled up in front of ACR. We
were speechless to see how large of a donation we would be receiving!
We are grateful to have such thoughtful volunteers and thank the
community for their kind donations. We will use every item donated and
our kitties are already enjoying their new toys, beds, and scratch
posts. Thank you to everyone who participated! For more information on

It's that time of year again! Time to start thinking about giving.
Instead of giving clothes, CDs, books, etc. this year, why not give
the gift of life? All contributions to ACR are tax-deductible and will
provide food, shelter, and medical care to needy cats and kittens. Why
not give to someone who really needs it?
