After a week of boiling your tap water, here's your moment of zen. While you're enjoying kitty ASMR, could we ask for your help? The water disruption depleted much of our reserve supply. Donations of drinking water for our animals and distilled water for our hospital would be greatly appreciated. 💧💙

🚨 Boil water advisory! 🚨
Our humane center and hospital are affected by the city's boil water notice, however, we are stocked on water for the time being. Should the water disruption be prolonged, we will need the community's help with potable water donations. Stay tuned for updates!
