Veterinary Supplies
Storage Facility
A storage facility should be located where donations of material goods can be cataloged and organized. Ideally, it should be near animal-relief sites so that supplies can be acquired quickly, but not so close that it interferes with the operations of the animal facility.
Record of Equipment & Supplies
A master list should be maintained so that an overabundance or shortage of necessary items doesn't occur. Some items, such as veterinary supplies, may need refrigeration.
Donations
Donations can range from animal food and supplies to offers of the use of helicopters or boats.
