Colorado Pet Pantry is committed to helping pets stay with their humans, and we need your help.
We believe that people should not have to relinquish their pets just because they are facing economic hardship. We believe that PETS ARE FAMILY. With your support, we can provide pet food assistance to cover the gap when housing costs, inflation, medical expenses, vet care, job loss, or underemployment chip away at the resources people need to feed their pets.
Over the last 11 years we have distributed 40 million meals to dogs and cats across the state. Helping over 200,000 families at our 100+ pet food pantries, in 32 Colorado Counties. We have developed such an efficient distribution system that with just a $5 donation, we can feed a pet for a full month.
Please consider splitting your donation into a monthly recurring donation. This greatly helps us to budget throughout the year and plan for new pet food banks. Thank you!
More than a Pet Food Bank
In 2017, Colorado Pet Pantry founded the Animal Welfare Share Program. This is a hub for donated dog and cat supplies, allowing animal rescues, shelters, low-cost veterinary services, and other animal welfare organizations the ability to reduce the amount spent on items like pet beds, collars, leashes, crates, kennels, bowls and prescription pet food, saving these items from landfills, and saving funds for other much-needed services, such as vet care.
On Saturday, June 5, 2021, a representative from the Red Cross contacted Colorado Pet Pantry (CPP) to ask for pet food for families who had lost their homes in a fire. The Red Cross had found emergency shelter for these families at a hotel in Aurora, and CPP was able to deliver dog food, cat food, cat litter and a litter box, dog and cat treats and toys, and guinea pig and ferret food and supplies - for a dog, a cat, 3 guinea pigs and a ferret!
After the Marshall Fine in Boulder County on Dec. 30, 2021, Colorado Pet Pantry worked with the Boulder Office of Emergency Management and Humane Society of Boulder Valley to provide pet food and supplies at the Disaster Assistance Center in Lafayette for two weeks. During this time, Colorado Pet Pantry, through the generosity of our donors, distributed approximately 2000 dog and cat beds to people who fled their homes with nothing, plus food, collars, leashes, bowls, toys, treats, and more.
Testimonials
"I am a single cat mom of 2 Nebelungs. I've had Smoky for six years, and I adopted Igloo a year ago. My angels have really helped me mentally as I go through hardship. I'm currently looking for employment, but have had no luck in my career field. I decided to go a different direction, and accepted a pay cut in another field. Funds are extremely tight right now until I get back on my feet. Colorado Pet Pantry has been a blessing! This program has been a life saver, and we are forever grateful in our time of need. Having access to food and litter for my cats is one less worry I have right now as I start working. I want to sincerely say, thank you! On behalf of The Trio Tribe, thank you for the donations! Thank you for your committed time, and efforts towards this wonderful cause. Thank you for being thoughtful, and so very kind. Your generous contribution helps average people like me provide a loving, stable home for my furry friends. God bless you and yours! Andrea, Smoky 🐾 and Igloo 🐾" - Andrea
