Anicom Holdings Lauded by IFAW for Animal Welfare Initiatives
Anicom Holdings, a Tokyo-based company renowned for pet insurance and various pet-related services, is proudly recognized in the recent edition of IFAW's newsletter, "Insider Update 2nd Edition 2025". Their commitment to animal welfare, particularly in times of disaster, has drawn significant attention and appreciation.
As part of its CSR initiatives, Anicom has actively engaged in providing assistance during natural calamities and humanitarian crises. A significant aspect of their efforts involves raising funds for the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW), particularly during events that affect animals overseas. This dedication has not gone unnoticed, leading to Anicom being featured in the “Donor Spotlight” section of the newsletter.
In the Japanese translation of the newsletter, it highlights Anicom’s core belief that "compassion for animals knows no borders." Since forming a partnership with IFAW in 2022, following the onset of the Ukraine war, Anicom has engaged in vital fundraising efforts. Their initiative, the “Ukraine Pet Rescue Fund,” has seen contributions from around 10,000 donors, allowing support for veterinary care for more than 17,000 pets affected by the conflict.
This inspiring response underscores the profound empathy that Anicom's clientele possess for both people and animals during critical times. Many individuals have demonstrated their willingness to risk their own safety to remain with their pets during evacuations, a testament to the invaluable role companion animals play in their lives. Anicom's efforts to support IFAW's disaster relief and resilience programs resonate deeply with these sentiments.
In addition to their work in Ukraine, Anicom has also provided support for rescue and recovery efforts in Turkey, Syria, Morocco, Libya, Taiwan, and Los Angeles, all areas that have faced devastating natural disasters. Stakeholders have expressed overwhelming gratitude, declaring, "When there’s a crisis, I can trust Anicom to do something for animals."
IFAW, in turn, has conveyed heartfelt thanks for the support received from Anicom and the wider community dedicated to animal welfare around the globe. The recognition from IFAW is a reflection of the compassionate support from all involved in these initiatives. Anicom remains committed to its vision, striving to protect animals without boundaries, and will continue its various efforts for animal welfare.
