Following a successful pilot conducted in 2008, ALLERCA Lifestyle Pets officially launches its Pet Buddies program to provide the company’s hypoallergenic kittens at no cost to pet-allergic children undergoing long-term medical treatment. The results of the pilot Pet Buddies program demonstrated the positive benefits to recovery that a pet can bring to these children, with further confirmation coming from parents. For each client who purchases a hypoallergenic kitten, ALLERCA Lifestyle Pets donates a kitten to the Pet Buddies program. In 2010, ALLERCA Lifestyle Pets will introduce the company’s hypoallergenic dog, the Jabari GD to the Pet Buddies program. Candidates for the Pet Buddies program are children under 18 years of age who are in remission from a life-threatening disease and who are in low-income families or where the families have experienced hardship due to the cost of the child’s medical treatment.
