Is this stoopid?

Another idea - you could purchase items from the ASPCA store. They have things for $2-$3 a piece. That way you send more $ to ASPCA, the cost is less than $4, and people get to go home with something they can keep. You can put a note with each one telling them about your donation. Website:
