Pet Food Shortage at spcaLA Shelters
Los Angeles, CA — Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Los Angeles (spcaLA) is reaching out to the community in an urgent appeal for pet food donations. After a year of surging animal intake, spcaLA pet adoption centers are experiencing a shortage of food supplies to meet the nutritional needs of the shelter animals. spcaLA is asking for donations of pet food or funds for canned and dry pet food for kittens, cats, puppies, and dogs.
Help feed shelter pets this holiday season
“With the increasing number of homeless and abandoned pets in our care, we find ourselves facing a critical shortage,” says spcaLA President, Madeline Bernstein. “We need about 33 tons of food to make it through a year.”
Ways To Help
Monetary Donations: Make a tax-deductible donation at spcaLA.com
Pet Food Donations: Shop and ship needed items from spcaLA’s wish lists 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.
Spread the Word: Share the plea with friends, family, and on social media to raise awareness. Word of mouth makes a real difference!
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.
If you represent a pet food brand, pet supply store, or logistics company and would like to set up a donation of one or more pallets of food or cat litter, please contact spcaLA at info@spcaLA.com or (323) 334-4485.
Since 1877, spcaLA has been a safe haven for countless abused and abandoned animals, providing nutrition, veterinary care, and rehabilitation. Donations make a significant impact on the lives of these animals ensuring they receive the care they deserve.
