Sharing again so we can hopefully raise the funds for Spritz's procedure to remove the tumor. Thank you!

Spritz went to the vet on 12/9/2024 for a growth on his shoulder that we'd been monitoring. It suddenly got much larger and raised. Dr. Angie recommended that we remove the tumor soon. We still owe the vet for his visit, and we need to raise funds ASAP for his procedure! Donations can be called into Companion Animal Hospital of Lafayette at 337-284-8898 and ask them to apply it to the account of Acadiana Humane Society for Spritz please. Donations can also be made online through Facebook or through the links on our website. Anything helps! Please like, comment, and share so others can help too! Thank you! www.acadianahumane.org/catblogger/donate

Thank you so very much to the students who donated these items for the Acadiana Humane Society Pet Food Pantry! Thank you also to the teacher that dropped them off today at our official donation location, Prof Erny's Music on S. College in Lafayette! Your support is greatly appreciated as the requests that we get to help people feed their pets, are much greater than the donations that we receive!

Thank you to all the volunteers who helped pickup, sort, and distribute the food! I forgot to take pictures before we started distributing it to the AHS Food Bank recipients.

Their volunteers will then distribute it where it's needed to help feed people and families in the community who are in need.

We are still in need of more insulated food bags to help us keep the cold food cold while transporting it. Please consider donating to help us continue our food rescue ministry. www.acadianahumane.org/catblogger/donate
