Business Wire
VCA Animal Hospitals announced that select VCA hospitals in
Southern California are offering free boarding assistance for small
animals, including dogs, cats, birds and pocket pets, to families
who are impacted by the Blue Cut brush fire in the Cajon Pass. The
blaze has scorched 37,000 acres, forced more than 83,000
evacuations and destroyed homes in several rural San Bernardino
County communities. Fire officials said the blaze was 26 percent
contained.
“Our thoughts are with the many families who are being impacted
by these devastating wildfires,” said Art Antin, Chief Operating
Officer of VCA Animal Hospitals. “We are extending free boarding
for family pets that have been displaced by the fires so families
can be assured their pets are safe and be able to focus on their
priorities during this critical time.”
Boarding assistance at participating Southern California VCA
hospitals is based on space availability. Pets should be current on
vaccinations, but in case they are not, VCA veterinarians will
update vaccinations free of charge. VCA Hospitals will also offer a
free health assessment exam for pets that have been evacuated or
displaced as a result of the fires. Pet owners are encouraged
to contact the American Red Cross or any one of the following VCA
hospitals for boarding assistance and more information.
