Maybe a thin layer of poly batting, quilted closeley. I think they would work with their equipment.

I just got back from the shelter as a matter of face. What they use tons of are washclothes (they use to clean the cages, and can only use once before they have to be washed). Lots of towels are used for placement in the crates, and of course the waterproof pads I spoke of earlier.

The shelter director told me today she had to get rid of those pillows/beds that have been donated and are filled with quilting fabric scraps. They are not practical for the shelter.
