Gifts That Give Back
Funding the rescue, rehabilitation and adoption of over 130 animals every year takes a lot of moolah. We like to plan fun and interesting events for our supporters as fundraisers, but we also know that not everyone who wants to support us can attend these events. So we have also created a collection of online shopping fundraisers that are available all year long!
We have been so lucky these past eight years to develop partnerships with many companies who not only sell great products but also donate to our organization. We have a variety of products for both pets and people.
Here’s a breakdown of what gifts you can shop for that also give back:
Benefit Wines
A volunteer favorite, Benefit Wines are certified organic, fair trade and vegan-friendly. With six varieties, of both red and white, you’re sure to find the perfect bottle to share at holiday dinners or to give as the perfect hostess gift. Be sure to tell everyone about the lifesaving work we are doing that your purchase is supporting. Shop Benefit Wines
Charity Wicks
From the company who brings us Benefit Wines, these wonderfully fragrant candles are made from vegan-friendly, kosher, non-GMO US grown soybeans. They’re free of unnecessary dyes and colorings, and use environmentally conscious fragrance oils. Lead and zinc-free wicks give these candles approximately 150 burn hours. We currently have six fragrance choices to make your home or office smell warm, inviting and cozy this winter. Shop Charity Wicks candles
Petcube
This is a fun product for both pets and their people! These interactive cameras spice up your pet’s day and give you a break from work day. The Petcube Play has a laser toy built in to the unit that automatically plays with your pet when it senses motion. The Petcube Bites flings tasty treats to your pet on a schedule, or whenever you feel like rewarding them. Both units have two-way audio so you can hear and talk to your furry friend. Sound and motion alerts let you know if Fido and Fluffy are up to shenanigans. Download the app to your smartphone to view, play, fling and share. You can also check out our very own KCZD camera with a view of our Milltown Adoption Center and play with our adoptable kitties with the laser toy! Shop Petcube
Pura Vida
This company has been one of our biggest charity partnerships. Over the past several years we have received over $12,000 from the sale of our custom bracelet and charity packs. These simple string bracelets are handcrafted in Costa Rica by local artisans, supporting the local economy. They are 100% waterproof, wax-coated and are adjustable from 2”-5” in diameter.

Tags for Hope
Everyone needs a valid ID, even your furry friend. Tags for Hope designs a custom pet identification tag based on your home state driver’s license. These adorable tags include not only identifying information such as address and picture, but also special statements like “Service Dog” or “Blind and Deaf.” There’s even a place to put your pet’s unique signature. These adorable tags are available in multiple sizes, for multiple different animals, and from multiple countries too so our supporters from far away can get in on the fun. When you purchase a tag through our link, we receive a 35% donation! Shop Tags for Hope

Amazon Smile
Who doesn’t love Amazon!? Even if you don’t subscribe to Amazon Prime, you can still shop all year long and support our rescue efforts with every purchase. Start shopping and giving by heading over to the smile.amazon.com site and registering KCZD as your charity partner of choice. Each time you shop with Amazon, make sure to start on the Smile site and we will automatically receive 1% of your purchase. It may not seem like much, but over time the donations can add up and every little bit helps feed our hungry animals. Unfortunately, Smile doesn’t work on the smartphone app, but have no fear, the mobile website runs just as nicely! Shop Amazon Smile
