We need medicine and other supplies
One of our most urgent and costly needs is medical supplies. We have a limited budget to support constant demand so we often need to rely on the kindness of people to provide us with basics. In addition, there are some general items we always require too. Below is a running wishlist and shipping instructions. If you are interested in donating anything not listed, please contact our General Manager (info@lantaanimalwelfare.com) to inquire, as Thailand has strict rules for the importation of medicines.
