Starting a non-profit agency that caters to abandoned animals in need of shelter requires a lot of planning and financial assets to keep the business afloat. If you have dealt with an influx of kittens and cats lately, it can be difficult to keep the animals' living quarters clean and sanitary. One way to reduce spending money on necessary supplies and ensure that each animal's needs are met is by purchasing litter through a delivery service.

Litter When And Where You Need It

If your business is operated from a commercial building, you may have decided to house cats and kittens in separate cages. Even a home-based business is going to require you to separate the animals from one another, so that each one has a private and safe area to eat and sleep in. Families that contain a mother cat and kittens are different than the other strays. You can potentially keep a family unit together until the kittens are old enough to be adopted into a loving family or be reunited with their original owners.

Gauge how much litter you will need to accommodate the cats and kittens that are currently in your care, and add a few bags of litter to the figure to handle the litter box needs of other animals that you may come into contact with and need to look after in the near future. Order odor-control litter from a business that provides delivery services.

A cat litter delivery service will allow you to plan how often deliveries are made and the quantity of litter that you receive. Each order will be dropped off to the physical building where the animals are located. You may notice that the amount that you are charged is much less than what you would be charged if you were to purchase individual bags of litter from a retailer. 

A Systematic Approach That Covers Each Pet's Needs

Each cat or kitten's cage should be sanitized on a regular basis, and this can be difficult to accomplish if you do not have a schedule in place that you follow each day. In addition, you likely have some other animal types to care for if you are willing to accept all domesticated animal breeds.

If you have people who assist you with the day-to-day care, fill them in on the litter delivery service that you have selected. Let each person know that you would like the litter boxes to be inspected regularly and that you want the litter changed as needed. Keep all of the litter inside of a dry, cool storage room or closet. When new animals are brought into your care, adjust your litter order.
