Urgent: Please take action! And cross post!
Dramatic budget cuts have forced Animal Care & Control of NYC to look to the public for food donations.
AC&C’s primary source of funding is the City of New York. Due to the current fiscal environment, that support has been drastically cut. Your food donations are now desperately needed for the hundreds of animals in their three care centers. And they could be needed for months.
Here is how you can help right now.
Bill Moran of C+K Distributors has generously agreed to help us help the animals! C+K is a huge distributor of pet food and supplies for the NYC metro area. In response to this unprecedented emergency, C+K will sell to the public at 5% below wholesale! That is less than what they charge pet stores!
Please, go to your phones on Monday.
Call C+K at 718-894-4302
and say:
"I would like to place an order for the Animal Care & Control Food Drive."
Purchase 1, or as many cases as you can afford, of the following:
24/14oz Pedigree - $17.76 For Dogs
24/13oz Friskies-$19.20 For Cats
The shelter is also out of Kitty Litter.
Please purchase 40lb bags of Tidy Cat - $7.75
C+K Hours of Operation:
Monday-Friday 9am-6pm
Saturday 9am – 3pm

Senior dogs and cats with infected teeth can not survive on dry food. And changing the diets of dogs and cats often causes severe diarrhea. So please keep your order to the wet brands listed above.These are the huge 14oz. cans at an amazing price!
As the food stockpiles we will need drivers to move the food and litter to the 3 centers in Brooklyn, Manhattan and Staten Island. Volunteers, please call Sarah Brown of NYCACC at 917 217-0571 or reply to me in this email.
A huge debt of gratitude to Bill Moran of C+K! And thanks to everyone on this list for cross-posting this message to as many people as you can. Let's get the C+Ks phone lines lit up!
