In times of natural disaster Purina’s goal is to provide timely support to pets and people in need. Following the devastation of Hurricane Helene early this month, Purina announced a $25,000 donation to Greater Good Charities to support the organization’s rescue response. The donation helped fund emergency relief, including food, medical supplies and hygiene kits to individuals displaced by the storm, as well as transport shelter pets to safety.

Now in the wake of Hurricane Milton, the needs are even greater. Purina continues to support communities impacted by the storms by shipping in over 1,700 tons (helping fill 130 truckloads) of Purina pet food and cat litter to provide for the thousands of shelter animals and displaced pets due to the recent hurricanes.

The Purina litter facility in King William contributed to this sizable donation, delivering 42,000 pounds (or 21 tons) of pet care products, including Tidy Cats litter. Purina established operations in King William in 1997 and today employs a team of more than 300.
