MSPCA Converts Cape Cod Facility to Temporary Pet Shelter After Securing Generator Fuel

The move offers a safe option for families without electricity following the blizzard.

Overview

  • The Centerville shelter lost power in the storm, warned its generator could run out of diesel by midnight, and relocated about 50 adoptable animals to other locations.
  • After a public appeal, Diesel Direct delivered fuel to keep the generator running, averting heat loss that could have damaged the building.
  • With adoptable animals moved, the Cape Cod Adoption Center is now receiving owned pets through the MSPCA’s SafePet program for temporary care.
  • Residents seeking temporary housing for pets can call 508-775-0940 or email cape@mspca.org, and donations are being accepted at mspca.org/EmergencyCape.
  • MSPCA is coordinating diesel deliveries with commercial providers and is not accepting individual gasoline drop-offs for safety reasons.
