Home Savings Charitable Foundation makes donation to Angels for Animals

YOUNGSTOWN — The Home Savings Charitable Foundation has donated $7,000 to Angels for Animals to purchase medical equipment for strays and help fund a program.

Angels for Animals was given the funds to assist in the farm and cleanup programs and to purchase intravenous infusion equipment.

The farm program is an agreement between the charity and farm owners which offers half-priced spay or neuter surgeries to control cat population. The agreement is made with the promise the farm owners will provide the surgery to every cat on their property, including future animals. The cleanup program is similar, but is a one-time offer for people with 10 or more cats.

The charity often takes in animals with unknown medical histories, and the IV fluids enable the best way to sustain the animals while options are evaluated.
