DONATIONS NEEDED FOR ANIMAL RELIEF EFFORT FOLLOWING HURRICANE KATRINA
In response to Hurricane Katrina, BOYDS CREEK ANIMAL HOSPITAL (BCAH) is collecting donations for animals lost and injured in this devastating storm. The following items are desperately needed:
- Pet Foods (dry and canned)
Collars
Leashes
Cat Litter
Bowls
Towels and Blankets
Unopened Veterinary Medical Supplies
Monetary donations are also needed and will be given to the AVMA Veterinary Medical Assistance Teams and to the local shelters responding to this disaster. In addition, we need help with the transportation of donated goods and supplies. Please contact us if you can help!
Donated items may be taken to BOYDS CREEK ANIMAL HOSPITAL at 11612 CHAPMAN HIGHWAY in SEYMOUR, TN from 8am – 7pm Monday – Friday, August 29th-September 2nd. You may contact us at 577-2738 for more information. Please make checks payable to the American Veterinary Medical Foundation or the Humane Society of Louisiana. Donations are Tax Deductible. (We would also appreciate checks made out to BCAH to aid with transportation costs.)
The AVMA Veterinary Medical Assistance Teams (VMATs) are teams of veterinarians, technicians, and personnel that are ready at a moments notice to provide aid in the unfortunate event of a disaster. The VMATs were established by the American Veterinary Medical Association and are sponsored by the American Veterinary Medical Foundation.
YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE! PLEASE CONTACT YOUR FRIENDS, NEIGHBORS, SCHOOLS AND CHURCHES, AND LOCAL CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS to CONTRIBUTE TO THIS MUCH NEEDED EFFORT.
Do something to help take care of the injured animals that survived the storm. We can all do a little bit and that will make a big difference.
Great idea! I think that the animals need our help just as bad! Especially those left behind by their families!
