KNOXVILLE, Tenn. , Oct. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Hurricane Helen caused unprecedented damage to communities, people and pets across six states. This morning, PetSafe announced on Good Morning America that it will donate $30,000 to the American Red Cross and donate $1 million in products to pets and pet parents. Heartbroken by the devastation caused by Helen, the brand has teamed up with the Lions Club and is leveraging its resources to distribute cat litter, one of the most requested items from local shelters, to those in need. We are trying to provide this to our customers.
PetSafe employees will begin unloading a total of $1 million worth of PetSafe Scoop-Free Premium Natural Cat Litter, or 47,727 bags, to be distributed to pet shelters in areas affected by Hurricane Helen.
In partnership with the Lions Club, PetSafe Brands employees collaborated on their annual day of service, and the brand delivered PetSafe ScoopFree Premium Natural Cat Litter to collection sites in West Knoxville. This $1 million product donation equates to 50,000 bags of high-quality, natural, odor-neutralizing cat litter, which will be distributed to pets and pet parents in need. While the brand encourages individuals to help in any way they can by donating items, they are also looking to adopt displaced pets, and shelters are helping in any way they can. I need it.
“Many pet parents feel that their pets are part of the family, and in times of need, we find great comfort in a comfortable home for ourselves and our pets. Although this donation is the result of a tragedy, we have a history of supporting people in need, in line with our mission to create products that bring a lifetime of joy to pets and the people who love them. to support pets, their parents and shelters,” said Rob Candelino, CEO of PetSafe Brands. “The needs of families affected by the hurricane are many, and we hope that we can at least alleviate some of the anxiety and restore some comfort and normalcy when it comes to caring for their pets.”
