A major winter storm is approaching. If you haven’t already, please prepare now for a disaster and for how to care for your family and pets should you need to evacuate or if you lose power for an extended period of time.
If you are given orders to evacuate, please always take your pets with you. SPCA Monterey County will be here to shelter animals if you do not have other places to take your pets. And if you are in an evacuation warning area, please make plans for your animals now. It is much easier to move your animals during the calm daytime than in the dark during the height of the storm.
As always, thank you for your support that makes all our programs, including disaster response and preparedness, possible. We are here for you, because of you.
If you need assistance with sheltering, please call the SPCA at 831-373-2631 during the day or 831-264-5424 at night. If you are self-evacuating, please call us so we can direct you to safe sheltering.
Prepare now to ensure a calm evacuation should you receive orders. We have tips available at spcamc.org. Find a place for your pets now, if possible, so that we can continue to help those who have no other options.
