Anicom Holdings' Generous Contribution for Animal Rescue

In a noble effort to support animals affected by the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles, Anicom Holdings has raised a remarkable total of 4,721,911 yen. This amount comprises donations from the general public and a significant contribution of 2 million yen from the Anicom Group itself, including charity donations from its employees. On March 25, 2025, the entire sum was delivered to the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW).

Context of the Wildfires

The wildfire that erupted in January 2025 has been described as one of the worst in history, taking 24 days to be fully extinguished. Tragically, 29 lives were lost, and a staggering area of at least 232 square kilometers was engulfed in flames. This catastrophe inflicted severe damage not only on humans and pets but also on countless wild animal species. In response to such dire circumstances, Anicom Holdings has stepped up to provide urgent aid.

Previous Fundraising Efforts

This isn't the first time Anicom Holdings has undertaken charitable campaigns for animals in need. The company has previously organized fundraising initiatives for various crises, including:

• - Ukraine Pet Relief Fund (2022)
• - Turkey-Syria Earthquake Pet Relief Fund (2023)
• - Morocco Earthquake and Libya Flood Animal Relief Fund (2023)
• - Noto Peninsula Earthquake Pet Relief Fund (2024)
• - Taiwan Eastern Offshore Earthquake Pet Relief Fund (2024)

These repeated efforts demonstrate Anicom's commitment to crossing borders when it comes to animal welfare.

The Impact of Donations

The contributions from this campaign will go directly to support animals and their owners affected by the recent West Coast disaster. Anicom Holdings is immensely grateful to everyone who donated, and they would like to assure that every yen will be utilized to help victims recover. Additionally, details regarding the allocation of funds will be provided soon as Anicom receives feedback from IFAW.

Rescue Stories

Among the success stories from this initiative is Penelope, a cat that was rescued by a dedicated team and successfully reunited with her owner after receiving necessary care. In another heartwarming example, baby raccoons are being rehabilitated as part of IFAW's wildlife recovery activities.
