Donations of money and hay have started to trickle in to the Central California SPCA ever since the last of 11 horses were seized from a piece of property in Fresno County on Thursday afternoon.
Since then, more than 36 bales of hay and 12 plastic food bins have been donated to the CCSPCA anonymously, employees said. Someone also donated $1,000 on Thursday, they added.
Employees say they're thrilled by the recent donations, but admit they won't last long. Three to four bales of hay are used twice per day to feed most of the 37 horses currently being cared for at the CCSPCA's main facility in Southwest Fresno. So, the donations the non-profit agency recently received will likely be gone in less than a week, employees said.
"We're going to need on-going donations of hay and even money so that we can go out and purchase the hay that we need," said Beth Caffrey, CCSPCA spokeswoman.
Caffrey says money, hay, and hoses are the organization's biggest needs right now. Money will especially be needed when animal control officers eventually start to check out homes of those interested in adopting the horses, she said. Only two horses are eligible for adoption right now, she added.

If you'd like to make a donation, you can drop it off at the CCSPCA Monday-Friday during normal business hours. The CCSPCA is located at 103 S. Hughes Avenue in Fresno.
