We are collecting Cat and Dog food donations to help the low income Elderly citizens of our community who need help feeding their beloved pets. Primary need for CAT food but dog food is welcome too! Research from social and medical sciences confirms that companion animals can and do improve health and overall happiness. Studies show that older people who own pets are more healthy and active than those who don't. Pet owners are less likely to suffer anxiety, loneliness and have more confidence than people without pets. Pets have a positive effect on your emotional health, and people who live alone with a pet are less likely to be depressed than those who live alone without a pet.

Pet Over-Population Awareness
Did you know? In 6 years, one cat and her mate and offspring can produce 68,088 kittens. Did you know? In 6 years, one dog and her mate and offspring can produce 67,000 puppies. Did you know? Four million cats and dogs, about one every eight seconds, are put down in U.S. shelters each year. Often these animals are the offspring of cherished family pets. Spay/neuter is a proven way to reduce pet overpopulation, ensuring that every pet has a family to love them (HSUS). SPAY OR NEUTER YOUR PET! Puppy Mill Awareness: Do you know where that puppy in the window came from? Stop Puppy Mills! ADOPT! Don't Shop! DON'T BREED or BUY While Shelter Pets Continue to Die Help promote adoption of shelter animals by becoming a foster parent. Many animals do not do well in a shelter environment and would benefit from a transitional home before being adopted into their forever home. Medical and food expenses are typically paid for by the shelter. All you need to provide is a temporary loving home! Help us continue our efforts to fund Our Programs that Help People Help Animals! |
