The Pasadena Humane Society & SPCA has provided a temporary home to about 250 pets since the evacuations began on Friday and is asking for donations of cat food and cat litter. “All brands are fine. And we will take dog food, of course, and towels and blankets too,” said Hillary Gatlin, a community resources associate. She asked that donors bring the items to the society at 361 S. Raymond Ave. in Pasadena. The society can be reached at (626) 792-7151.

[Updated at 2:10 p.m: The Los Angeles Department of Animal Services reports that it also wants donations of unopened animal food to aid pets evacuated in the Sunland-Tujunga area.
