Companion Animal Food and Supplies Drive

Since it's holiday time and the season of giving, Charlotte Street Animal Hospital is sponsoring a cold weather food and supply drive that benefits many different local animal charities. Our collection drive started on 11/15/11 and will extend to 4/15/12. We are so pleased to help these local organizations to provide food and supplies for animals in need here in the Asheville area!

Our Animal Hospital Gives To Local Animals In Need!

The animal food and supply drive benefits the Animal Compassion Network, the Asheville Humane Society, Brother Wolf Animal Rescue, Catman2 Cat Rescue, Meals on Wheels for Pets, and the Phoenix Landing Parrot Rescue. We have chosen rescue groups that provide help to all different types of animals, from dogs and cats to parrots and ferrets. Our animal hospital has compiled a food and supply wish list from each of the groups, which you can find on our homepage.

We take donations both here at the emergency vet clinic and over the phone at (828) 232-0440 during our regular office hours. Then we compile all of the food and supplies and present each organization with these donations once a month!

We really pride ourselves on providing experienced and compassionate emergency vet care, routine vet care, and services like cat boarding to our pet parents -- but we always want to keep needy animals in mind too! With the cold weather upon us, the number of animals coming in to rescue groups may continue to rise, and we want to do all we can to help these animals and the organizations that work so hard to feed and shelter them.

Please keep an eye out for our animal food and supply drive flyers -- we will be advertising with local businesses in an effort to reach as many people as possible.
