The Irvine Animal Care Center invites the community to support the annual Foster Donation Drive, March 1–31. Support the center’s new puppies and kittens, post-surgery animals, and animals healing from an injury by donating supplies such as Breeder’s Edge formula, Mother & Babycat food, and Miracle Nipple syringes. Donations can be made through the center’s Amazon or Chewy wish lists, where items can be shipped directly to the center.​ View the Irvine Animal Care Center’s full wish list at irvineanimals.org/foster. 

Donations can also be made in person at the Foster Donation Celebration Saturday, March 9, 1–3 p.m. Located at the center, this jubilant event provides an opportunity for participants to learn more about the Foster Care program and receive an Irvine Animal Care Center Supporter sticker for donating. 

The center’s Foster Care program provides a safe home environment, supplies, food, and veterinary care for animals too young to be adopted, those with behavior needs, and those recovering from medical procedures. Members of the public interested in providing temporary care for these animals can learn more at irvineanimals.org/foster. 

The Irvine Animal Care Center is located at 6443 Oak Canyon. For more information, visit irvineanimals.org or call 949-724-7740.
