Food Pantry
The food pantry program was created as a way for CAC to provide pet food to pet owners in Kootenai County who are struggling to feed their pets due to financial hardship.
*The Food Pantry program is not to be used to feed strays, foster care animals, outdoor community animals, Trap-Neuter-Release (TNR), or feral colonies. It is also not a program for individual rescuers or rescue groups.
Qualification Requirements
To qualify, you must live in Kootenai County, receive federal or state financial assistance, or meet the federal poverty income guidelines. We do require a copy of your current driver's license/photo ID, proof of Kootenai County residency, and noted documentation/letter of benefits for the assistance you are receiving.
Food is limited, therefore applications are reviewed every six months to confirm continued participation in the program.
Food Provided
Once a month, we provide cat and dog food for up to five animals per household. The amount of food supplied will be at CAC's discretion based on the represented weight of the animal(s) and the food that is available.
This program is meant to supplement your pet's food supply and may not fulfill the dietary needs of your pet(s).
