The Irvine Animal Care Center invites the community to support its annual Holiday Donation Drive, November 15 through January 15, raising funds for programs that provide specialized medical treatment, foster care, and additional resources for animals needing advanced care.
Donations support the center's Special Programs, including Enhanced Care, Foster Care, Third Chance for Pets, and Rescue Support. Together, these programs help animals overcome medical challenges, receive individualized attention, and get the additional time and resources needed to find permanent homes.
The center's Special Programs have helped countless animals receive care that might otherwise be out of reach. This year, Enhanced Care has supported emergency veterinary treatment, orthopedic procedures, specialty care in cardiology, neurology, and dermatology, and advanced dental surgeries. The Foster Care Program has provided temporary homes and around-the-clock care for more than 350 animals. Through Rescue Support, the center also partners with more than 100 rescue organizations, helping fund medical and behavioral care for animals whose needs might otherwise make placement difficult.
Since its inception in 1999, the center's Third Chance for Pets program has helped nearly 14,500 animals find homes. These achievements reflect the ongoing commitment of staff, volunteers, foster families, rescue partners, and donors who make the center's work possible.
