Following yesterday’s (April 1) devastating Putra Heights gas pipeline fire, many homes have been destroyed, forcing many to seek shelter at temporary relief centres. Many casualties and injuries were also reported.
Given this, several organisations are stepping in to lend a helping hand to those in need, and this includes pets! If you or someone you know is a pet owner affected by the Putra Heights blaze, these organisations are ready to help:
If your pet requires urgent care due to smoke inhalation or injury, you can bring them to Putra Heights Vet Clinic, which will be providing emergency relief for those in need. You may also WhatsApp them.
