Give A Little Bit! Last Minute Gift Ideas
Looking for last minute gift ideas for fellow cat lovers? You’ve come to the right place!
Give a gift donation! Give a truly meaningful gift that helps animals in need. It’s unique, perfect for the cat (or person) who already has everything, and it’s tax-deductible!
- If you gift a gift donation of $50 or more, the Humane Society will send the recipient an adorable plush “take along pet” - order by midnight, December 18th for delivery by Christmas. Get more info here or order by phone by calling 1-866-MY-FRIEND.
Another really great non profit that helps cats is the Alley Cat Allies - if you send a gift donation, they will send a special card to the honoree to let them know that you’ve donated on their behalf. Go and donate online at the Alley Cat Allies Site!
For more charities, check out our charities guide. Make sure you check out their rating on charity navigator or a similar third party site, so you know that your dollars are actually going to the cause and not to administrative costs!
Some other more conventional gift ideas…
- Get a cat calendar! Check out our selection at the cat calendar store for ideas.
- Get a unique cat print, poster, or photograph - check out our selection at our cat prints store.
- Fishs Eddy has great cat dishes, bowls, mugs, and glasses with adorable drawings of cats with commands for tricks written under them - we have them, they’re hilarious! (for example, a cat grooming itself says “fetch” or “play dead” underneath it):
- Go to Snapfish.com and get a personalized gift using your photos - they have everything from snowflake ornaments to mugs to calendars to teddy bears with custom printed t-shirts! And of course, a photo album would make a great gift! Just upload your photos, and it’s all done in, well, a Snap!
- Check out Sanrio’s Online Shop for tons of cute Hello Kitty gifts - order by 9PM PT Dec. 17th for your gift to arrive by Dec 22nd! Just look at how cute this mug is!

- eBay is always a great resource for getting a good deal on just about anything! You can also try the Amazon.com marketplace or Yahoo! auctions.
- For art lovers, the Met Store has some unique cat-themed gifts, like the small Egyptian Cat:

Here’s one just for fun…we thought this was so unique and beautiful…a carved amethyst cat ring for $2100.00 from the Met Museum Store (if anyone wants to buy us one, let us know! Just kidding! ha ha 
Hope everyone’s having a great December!!

I like your ideas they are so cool..see the Cat Card Case I found for my girlfriend. She loved the gift for her birthday which was March1, 2007. I eventually bought one too. WE LOVE OUR KITTIES…and instead of carryinig them around with us while we are hard at work, we carry this case.
