Sharing this in case anyone here knows how to crochet. Orphaned Kitten Sweaters donates handmade sweaters to fosters, veterinary hospitals, and rescues. Their website is here: https://www.orphankittensweaters.org

They have a blog with the instructions here: Adventures in (stupid) Pinterest: Orphan Kitten Sweater-Take 3

I've started crocheting these--the smallest size takes me about 20 minutes. When I have a bunch I'll mail them to the group. It gives me warm fuzzies on many levels.

Adorable! Thank you for posting this. I'll have to pick up some soft baby yarn and give it a try.

Great find, Rene!

I know many ladies on here will appreciate, & anyone I know I'll broadcast it to. I think this is THE main reason everyone's on here -- to MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE in a small kitty's day & life!

A suggestion: I've found lots of baby yarn at thrift stores for about $1 per skein. Walmart also sells their brand of Velcro fastener for .97 per package.

An update: I've already made a dozen of these! They are fun to make once I got the hang of it. I emailed the group and they are in most need of the two smallest sizes, (Millie and Mazie).

I crochet and I am going to try your pattern. What a great idea! I have plenty of left over yarn.

Thanks for being a thoughtful person!

Update: I mailed off 16 kitten sweaters last week to the rescue group. What a happy feeling. Since they weigh so little, the shipping didn't cost much.
