Supporting Animals in Crisis: ASPCA and Pasadena Humane Respond to Southern California Wildfires

The ASPCA is currently providing assistance in Southern California at the request of Pasadena Humane, delivering emergency shelter supplies and support. Efforts are ongoing to determine where aid can address the most urgent needs in impacted areas.

The Southern California-based team overseeing the ASPCA Kitten Foster Program in Los Angeles remains safe, and more than 30 cats and kittens near the disaster zone have been relocated as a precautionary measure.

The wildfires have caused significant devastation, affecting local communities, pets, and shelters. Over 350 animals have been brought to Pasadena Humane following evacuation orders, with some arriving with burns and other injuries. It is expected that additional animals in critical condition will arrive in the coming days.

Donations to Pasadena Humane and local animal welfare organizations are encouraged to help protect California’s animals and pet owners during this crisis. Contributions can be made directly to Pasadena Humane at give.pasadenahumane.org/fire or to the ASPCA’s ongoing relief efforts at aspca.org/LAwildfire.
