Happy Socks

Happy Socks

Its time to clean out that sock drawer and admit that all those lonely socks will probably never meet their mates again. Give 'em a second life as a Happy Sock!

Operation Happy Sock creates and delivers catnip toys to homeless cats in the animal shelters. We make simple toys, called "Happy Socks, "by putting catnip in the toes of an old sock and tying a knot at the ankle.

We welcome donated socks that meet these guidelines:

Clean
Sweat socks, fuzzy socks, toe socks...
Any size (baby and kids sizes too) are welcome.
Thin synthetic or nylons aren't durable enough.

Thank you on behalf of homeless cats everywhere!
Pay it forward in kindness to cats...
