The Problem

Shelter pets deserve some love too especially around the holidays! We want to bring special elements to these lovely creatures through upcycling the boxes our Christmas gifts are being shipped in by making gingerbread "cat" houses for the felines of our local animal shelter.

Our Plan

To upcycle cardboard boxes by coloring/painting/decorating them to resemble festive gingerbread houses for the cats and other animals in the shelter.
