Do you have a local Freecycle board that you can post on?? I go through my Yahoo Groups page, and I belong to Freecycle (which is national and international) and I find many things that I need for my cats and my foster cats.

Just last week, I got a Disney Princess Toddler Bed, mattress and all, for $10.00. I have two of them upstairs now(toddler beds), and the cats love to sleep on them. I have piles of blankets on them, so they can sleep on them on burrow under the covers. You'd be surprised at what you can find.

Here's the link:
