Community Pet Pantry In Need of Cat Food & Supplies
Food and supplies for cats are critically low again at Lee County Domestic Animal Services. The agency needs both dry and canned varieties and cat litter to meet the needs of those assisted through the Community Pet Pantry. Donations of dog food and supplies are also welcome
Through the Pet Pantry LCDAS distributes pet food and supplies to owners that would need to surrender their pets due to their inability to provide food and care. LCDAS is currently providing food for more than 800 pets directly and also helping several neighborhoods and churches supply pet food for their members’ and residents’ pets.
Pet owners receiving public assistance may contact LCDAS at 239-533-7387 (LEE-PETS) to be placed on an approved list to receive pet food. A Spay/Neuter and Vaccine Program is also available. By offering these types of programs to the public it is the agency’s goal to reduce the number of owned pets relinquished to area shelters due to loss of employment or homes.
Anyone who can assist by donating pet food or other pet supplies may bring them to the shelter at 5600 Banner Drive, Fort Myers, next to the Lee County Sheriff’s Office off Six Mile Cypress Pkwy. Donations may be left at the door any time the shelter is not open.
