California Animal Hospitals Offer Free Boarding

IN THE WAKE OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA FIRES, VCA ANIMAL
HOSPITALS OFFERS FREE BOARDING FOR PETS OF AFFECTED
FAMILIES

LOS ANGELES, October 29, 2003. Responding immediately to the
recent fires that have swept across the Southland, VCA Animal
Hospitals announced today that local VCA's are offering free boarding for
companion animals for fire victims who have been evacuated or displaced.
While hundreds of local shelters have been set up to provide housing and
food for affected residents, locating facilities that offer specialized care
for animals has added to the stress of the situation.

In order to provide a safe haven for pets and relief for their owners, VCA
Animal Hospitals is offering this aid to individuals who have been displaced
due to the fires throughout the crisis period.

As thousands of families are being evacuated to shelters or facing the loss
of their homes, VCA hopes to ease their burden by offering free and safe
boarding for pets, said Rick Watson, DVM, Group Vice President Western
Region, for VCA Animal Hospitals. Pet owners can rest assured that the
safety and well-being of their animals is our top priority.

A sampling of the pets that have already received care at VCA as a
result of the recent fires includes dogs, cats, turtles, rabbits and even an
ostrich and a peacock.
