What does Purina do to help pets in times of natural disasters?

When floods, fire and ice take their toll on four-legged victims, Purina responds with donations of Purina® brand dog and cat foods and Tidy Cats® brand litter. In a major disaster, our likely first response is to partner with a nationally recognized rescue agency. This information will be posted on Purina.com. If your animal welfare organization has been impacted by a natural disaster or emergency and the information on our site does not pertain to your area, you may submit a donation request. We will contact you if we feel we can be of assistance.

Learn more about Purina's emergency response and disaster relief efforts at www.petsforpeople.com.

How do I submit a military request?

We frequently receive requests from military personnel and their families for assistance with a pet who has been rescued in the Middle East or a pet who has been abandoned because a caretaker was stationed overseas. If you have a military-related request and are an active member of the military or a family member of active military personnel, please send you request to: military@purina.nestle.com.
