WALNUT CREEK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
The Kaytee Animal Foundation is proud to announce a $25,000 contribution to the Wildlife Hospital Bushfire Appeal for disaster relief efforts in Australia due to the recent brushfires that threatened the country’s citizens and wildlife. The funds will be used to send medical supplies to wildlife rescuers on the frontline of the fire-affected areas, for the purchase of commercial food preparation equipment for wildlife care groups, and the purchase and regeneration of crucial habitats of native Australian birds including parakeets, cockatiels, and eclectus.
“The concern we share with our fellow animal lovers makes it vital to assist the Wildlife Bushfire Appeal. We support the dedication to birds in the wild and other wildlife who are injured, in need of care and rehabilitation, and may be threatened or endangered,” stated Todd Regan, GM of Central Specialty Pet.
