BOSTON, Feb. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- TD Bank,
America's Most Convenient Bank®, announced today that it has
provided $18 million in financing to
the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
(MSPCA-Angell) in part to fund the construction of a
6,000-square-foot addition to its Critical Care Unit (CCU) and
medical ward.
The MSPCA was founded in 1868 by George
T. Angell as an independent non-profit (no affiliation with
national humane organizations) and is the second-oldest humane
society in the U.S. The organization's mission is to protect
animals, relieve their suffering, advance their health and welfare
and prevent animal cruelty.
Angell's current CCU was built in built in 1986, when the
facility had an annual caseload of 40,000. Today, the animal
medical center's caseload is approximately 85,000 annually, about
30% of which come in as emergencies. The expansion will allow
Angell to properly handle its current caseload while accommodating
future growth and includes an additional 3,000 square feet of space
in the CCU as well as an additional 3,000 square feet in the ward
for non-urgent patients and medical boarding.
The deal was completed by Jeffrey
Bayard, Vice President of Not-for-Profit, Education and
Government Finance at TD Bank.
"The MSPCA-Angell is a well-respected organization that provides
crucial services to our communities," Bayard said. "TD Bank is
proud to be able to help Angell Animal Medical Center expand and
make sure animals receive great care."
"We are very grateful for TD Bank's ongoing partnership as we
look ahead to renovating our Critical Care Unit to meet the growing
demand for world-class, 24/7 veterinary care," said Todd McCann, Chief Financial Officer for the
MSPCA-Angell. "Renovating our Critical Care Unit will enable us to
continue providing animal patients with the highest level of
service, now and in the future."
