Pet food banks allow people to keep their pets.

[Catherine]

People are suffering economic hardship for many reasons. Sometimes they have to give up their pets because they can no longer feed them.
One man in Scotland was in that situation. He didn't want to give up his cats, but he couldn't afford their food.
The situation was saved when he found a pet food bank.

Shelters all over have set up pet food banks. The need is very great. Without the food banks, people would have to give up their pets.
Sometimes the pet is the only support they have. It is important to keep them together. As long as there is need, there will be pet food banks.
