Hill's reaches out to Ontario humane societies

In response to the removal of 100+ cats from a home west of Toronto last weekend, Hills Pet Nutrition is reaching out to help the Oakville and Milton Humane Society with their urgent request of 100 cases of Hill's feline canned pet food. 

This effort by Hill's is in addition to the free Science Diet product already provided to the Oakville and Milton Humane Society (a shelter partner) as part of the Hill's Food, Shelter & Love program. 

"The condition of these cats were understandably very poor," said Frances Cheslo, communications supervisor at Hill's in an industry email this week. "After being examined by veterinarians, they estimated they needed about 100 cases of canned cat food split between Science Diet Mature Adult Feline and Prescription Diet i/d Feline due to the fact they are mostly senior cats with oral health and gastrointestinal issues."

The Oakville Humane Society expressed its gratitude for the generous donation on its Facebook page, "It was a huge order, especially when you consider that Hill's Pet Nutrition already donates all our dry cat, dog, puppy and kitten food. The answer came back almost instantly and it was a resounding 'YES'!"
