Each day, Nevada Humane Society has dozens of cats and kittens arrive at the shelter. This time of year, those numbers are especially high — and right now your help is needed as the supply of cat and kitten food is running critically low.
“We see dozens of cats and kittens arrive at the shelter each day and we need your help. One bag of dry food or a case of canned food goes a long way for both foster families and the animals residing here,” said Kimberly Wade, Communications Director for NHS. “The cats and kittens have one wish here — and that is for YOU to help us fill their tummies.”
Specific food needs include:
· Canned kitten food
· Dry (kibble) food for both cats and kittens
· Any name brand welcome; NO fish flavors
· Dog food is NOT needed at this time
Though kitten season began in March (that time of year when kittens are coming into animal shelters right and left), it’s still going strong. There are thousands of kittens that go into Nevada Humane Society’s Foster Program each summer — a program that allows them to grow big and strong while being socialized during their first weeks of life in a temporary home. Nevada Humane Society provides foster families with all of the needed supplies — including cat and kitten food. In addition, the increasing number of cats during this time of year adds to the demand for adult food.
If you can help, donations may be delivered daily, between 11am and 6:30pm, in Reno to 2825 Longley Lane or in Carson City to 549 Airport Road. Food can also be shipped via Amazon (use AmazonSmile to benefit us too!) or Chewy.com. For adult cat food needs, click here and for kitten needs, click here. Food should be shipped to the Reno location.
