The Animal Food Bank is a volunteer and donation-based food bank for cats, dogs and in some cases, smaller animals like birds and bunnies. It’s there to help people who, for whatever reason need some help to feed their pets. It works by filling out a form to request food for their furry friends and unfortunately the number of Winnipeggers doing so has steadily increased over the last few years. The Winnipeg branch has received between 250 to 300 requests for cat food every month so far this year.
According to Lisa Davis, the Winnipeg branch, says there are 51 cats in the city that they currently cannot feed because they don’t have enough dry food for them. The lack of food means about 29 of those cats could be surrendered this week alone, negatively impacting everyone involved.

Alongside fundraising efforts and calls for donations, the branch has been reaching out to any Winnipeg stores that sell cat food to see if they have any damaged or nearly-expired items to donate. If you’d like to volunteer
