Hello my name is Cindy, owner of social media influencer Cosmo The Funny Parrot and friend and customer of Big Al's Supercenter. I'm fundraising to help support all the displaced animals after a devastating fire that broke out at a grocery store located beside Big Al's Supercenter.

Big Al's Pet Supercentre is a long established, full service pet store in Hamilton/Stoney Creek serving the community and their pets since 1985. Unfortunately Big Al's was devastated by a fire in a neighboring business, resulting in widespread smoke and water damage. Due to the quick actions of dedicated staff, the animals were safely removed from the environment. Some are being housed with employees while the remainder are in a temporary emergency location.

Animal care costs including feeding, vet care and enrichment (chew toys) are not covered yet by insurance and will be costly while the store focuses on reopening safely. Donations for animal care are greatly appreciated and will be strictly used for the health and support of the animals. Let's come together as a community to support a locally owned business get back on its feet. The staff are doing everything they can to get back to helping the pet community, so let's help the animals stay happy and healthy.

Thank you in advance for your support. We really appreciate all the help we can get.
