Our community asked. We’re showing up. We’ve been hearing from pet owners who are struggling to keep their furry family members fed, so we’re turning those calls for help into action.

Our goal? 10,000 pounds of pet food: 5,000 pounds of dog food and 5,000 pounds of cat food. And while the dogs have been getting some serious love from our generous community, our cat pile needs a little help catching up.

So, cat people, this is your moment! Pick up a few cans, add some cat food to your next shopping trip, or share this post with your favorite cat person. Every donation helps us be there for a pet owner when they reach out for help.

Tag a cat person who needs to see this!
