Net proceeds from sales at The Thrifty Kitty support Friends of the Alameda Animal Shelter (FAAS) the animal shelter for Alameda.
Our mission to re-home animals sparked our passion to create The Thrifty Kitty as a vibrant space to re-home clothing, jewelry, artwork, books and household items.
FAAS receives nearly 1,000 lost, abandoned, and surrendered animals a year, and saves 96% through innovative programs, community partnerships, and support from a passionate base of volunteers and donors.
Watch for the invitation to this spectacular event soon.
Vali and crew are still accepting donations of jewelry of any kind, plus (in very good condition only) purses, personal accessories, and items that would make good raffle gifts. Donation windows are now till September 15th (the preferred window) and October 4-15. Please contact Vali directly at vebert.faas@gmail.com to arrange for donations. . The annual jewelry sale has provided FAAS with over $200,000 to fund special programs to save and keep our animal pals healthy and in good homes.
The perfect gift for any occasion for every bargain hunter and thrift store shopper -- The gift of thrift.

Move over, Amazon. Thrifty Kitty's book section is regularly updated to include Amazon best sellers using the same criteria of title requests. Up until recently arranged by colors of the rainbow, but we went to the alphabetized system for easier search. And at $4 for a hardcover best seller including cookbooks, $3 for paperbacks and kids' books, and a buck for comics, you can't beat the prices. Puzzles and games for the whole family.
We are fortunate to have many donors who choose The Thrifty Kitty to donate their fine art, collectibles, jewelry and accessories. From Italian glassware to "ugly pottery," whimsical frogs to music boxes, you'll often find a treasure someone has passed along for a good cause.
