NEW YORK CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SPCA International (www.spcai.org) has donated aid and supplies valued at $1,051,011 to Spay Panama shelter. The veterinary support aid includes local anesthetic, anti-worm drugs, anti-parasite medications and multiple antibiotics. The distribution made to Spay Panama also included alcohol swabs, surgical blades, gloves and syringes - all essential and costly veterinary supplies to help treat stray and injured animals in areas where supplies are extremely limited.
Spay Panama was founded by Patricia Chan in 2002 after she witnessed the exploding population of stray cats and dogs suffering on the streets of Panama. With a small group of friends, Chan began helping the animal population one paw at a time, and since then the project and mission have grown to include a facility with new veterinary services and treatments.
“We are pleased to have made such a large donation to a part of the world where underfunded shelters are in desperate need of supplies,” says Stephanie Scott of SPCA International. “Thanks to our supporters and donors these supplies have already been distributed and received by the shelters so that rescue and treatment work can grow to help alleviate the numbers of stray animals on the streets in Panama.”
The SPCA International also announces the recent delivery of veterinary supply aid valued at $1,035,591 to the Animal Friends League of Kuwait shelter. The donation included many of the same anesthetics, antibiotics, medications as well as surgical tools and equipment. Animal Friends League of Kuwait is the only open door shelter in the Middle East dedicated to animal education, adoptions and care for all species of animals in the State of Kuwait.
“Animal Friends league of Kuwait runs an amazing operation and we are honored to be able to donate this generous amount of critical supplies,” says Scott. “We know our supply aid is already doing good and needed work to help animals of all kinds in horrific situations in Kuwait.”
