OG Anunoby is using his championship spotlight to help some local cats get noticed.

Fresh off helping lead the New York Knicks to an NBA title, Anunoby has partnered with Animal Care Centers of NYC (ACC), Royal Canin, and VCA Animal Hospitals to spotlight five adoptable shelter cats. The campaign, called "OG's Starting Five," highlights cats currently waiting for homes in New York City's largest shelter system.

To encourage adoptions, the campaign is offering a year of free cat food and veterinary care for adopters. Royal Canin is also donating $300,000 worth of pet food to animal shelters across the U.S. Animal advocates hope the effort will help more shelter cats find loving families.

You can visit Animal Care Centers of NYC (ACC) for more adoptable animals here: https://www.nycacc.org/.

Today, VCA turns 40. For four decades, our Associates have shown up with compassion, expertise, curiosity and full hearts. In hospitals, exam rooms, waiting rooms, and in the everyday moments that often go unseen.

Together with Mars Veterinary Health, we are proud of the community we've built and the impact we've made for pets and the people who love them. A community of leaders, learners, innovators, and lovers of pets, united by a shared commitment to advancing
veterinary medicine and raising the standard of care.

Thank you in all forms possible for the forty years that brought us here and the many more still to come.

🐾 It’s National Poison Prevention Week!
Did you know that some of the most dangerous toxins for your pets are things found right in your own home? From everyday foods like grapes and chocolate, to common houseplants, medications, and cleaning products, the risks are closer than you think.
If you ever suspect your pet has gotten into something toxic, don’t wait. Call ASPCA Poison Control at (888) 426-4435 and get to your nearest veterinary emergency hospital immediately. Our team at VCA West LA is here for you 24/7. 💙
