Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, we have received our requested number of cat and dog Kuranda bed donations and are now outfitting them with washable, cushioned slipcovers for our animal's comfort. We need approximately 16 slipcovers. If you would like to purchase a slipcover for one (or more) of the beds, please click on the picture below.

Be sure to select the correct slipcover so it fits the beds we currently have:

Size: 40x25 Large
