PAW BVI Foundation USA has launched a GoFundMe campaign to help rebuild Canines, Cats & Critters BVI after an early morning fire on November 12 gutted the building housing the veterinary practice in Hannah’s.
The fundraiser, launched the same day, said the blaze destroyed all of the practice’s supplies and equipment, leaving the team having to start from scratch.
“Unfortunately, the fire destroyed absolutely everything and they have to start from scratch (literally, not even a solitary syringe survived the blaze),” the appeal stated.
All funds raised will go towards rebuilding the practice, which has supported animal welfare organisations alongside its regular veterinary services.
According to the appeal, Canines, Cats & Critters has partnered with PAW BVI, the Humane Society of the BVI and ARC Virgin Gorda for years, providing heavily discounted services for animals in need.
Despite the destruction, the team is already developing a plan to resume operations.
“Our hearts are broken, but the CCC team is one of the strongest teams around and they are already coming up with a plan to get working again,” the appeal stated.
Organisers encouraged donations of any size. BVI residents wishing to contribute by cash or cheque can contact PAW BVI to arrange their donations.
