Pet Food Shortage at spcaLA Shelters
Los Angeles, CA — Pet food reserves are dangerously low at Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Los Angeles (spcaLA). spcaLA is asking for help from the community and pleading for donations of pet food or funds. spcaLA needs canned and dry pet food for kittens, cats, puppies, and dogs.
Help feed shelter pets this holiday season
“If you are out shopping for your family, please think of shelters pets and grab a can or bag for them,” says spcaLA President, Madeline Bernstein. “We go through about 37 tons of pet food every year.”
After an uptick in animal intake that started this summer and a prolonged kitten season, the Society’s supply of pet food for all life stages has dwindled. Cat litter and dogs chews, which are used for enrichment are also depleted.
There are many ways to help. Shop and ship needed items from spcaLA’s wish lists, make a tax-deductible donation at spcaLA.com, or pick up a few items for shelter pets while out shopping this holiday season and drop-off to any spcaLA location during business hours. Information available at spcaLA.com/neededitems.
spcaLA routinely works with corporate donors and individuals to provide donations of food and supplies necessary for shelter pets. Without public support, the agency may have to divert funds from crucial programs, like animal cruelty investigations and violence prevention initiatives, to fill the need.
