GSI CEO Davina Veronica said the group appreciated the gesture.
“We hope that this will inspire other people to care for animals in shelters. We would also like to advocate for adoption, instead of buying, as there are many abandoned animals who need homes and affection,” she said.
The organization currently houses 40 dogs and 60 cats. The donation from Pet Kingdom will be able to feed the animals for up to four months, said Anisa Ratna Kurnia from GSI. (wng)
