This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Meow Mix®. All opinions are 100% mine.
My friend Carrie shared a photo of a poster her 10 year old daughter made about how smoking harms cats, and it was about the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. When my Junior Girl Scouts chose their service project to earn their Bronze Award last year, they wanted to help cats. Kids love animals. They love helping others, and that includes animals. They understand that there are so many cats in shelters and in the wild because people don’t spay or neuter pets, and there simply aren’t enough volunteers to welcome each and every cat into their home/facility/program.
It’s not the cats’ fault they are running around, and while it may not be ‘our’ doing, I feel like there are really easy ways for us to help support those who are working to help these poor animals. We adopt our pets from shelters and rescues- my husband’s first cat was Raistlin and she was found thrown in a dumpster. All of our cats who have followed were adopted from local rescues or shelters. So when I was approached to share with you all about the new donation program Meow Mix® Heart Healthy + Oral Care has started with Sam’s Club called Save.Give.Love. I was quick to accept. We have a cat (Rosabeth, aka Rosie, Rosiepants, Kitty, Rosabeast when she’s cranky) and she is a big part of our family- without a shelter or others doing what they could to help to feed hungry cats…we’d likely not have her.
For every bag of Meow Mix® Heart Healthy + Oral Care cat food purchased, Meow Mix® Heart Healthy + Oral Care will donate a serving of food to a shelter cat in need*. Cats and kittens alike love the flavors of Meow Mix® Heart Healthy + Oral Care. I remember we tried so many foods for Raistlin years ago and the only food she’d eat was Meow Mix®. No other brands. She’d dump the bowl and walk away! This product is antioxidant- rich with 23 essential vitamins and minerals, including taurine to support a healthy heart, plus calcium and vitamin D to help support healthy teeth and bones. This is a Sam’s Club-exclusive mix with a low price of $14.98 for 24-lb bag. A serving size comes to .49 each- that’s less than a cup of coffee and you can feed another cat while you feed your own. 🙂
Even if you don’t have a cat, or your cat eats a different kind of food- why not buy a bag and donate to a local shelter- you’ll also be getting more cups of food donated to feed even more hungry cats. That’s a great way to do more for your money, and to help cats in need!
*Disclaimer: Meow Mix® will donate up to 2,000 cups of food over 8 weeks.

First of all what a beautiful cat! Next, cudos for Purina for creating such a great food for felines but also donating to local shelters. That’s a company you want to frequent.

I don’t have any kitties 🙁 But, I want them!! What a great idea to donate to our local shelters. Hadn’t thought about that.

I love it when companies give back like this. I have two cats of my own. I’m a huge animal lover, so something like this is so wonderful.

What a great program! I wish I could go save all the cats in need. I’m such a cat person! It helps to feel like you are doing your small part though.
Kelly Hutchinson says
I think it is horrible that we still have pets who go hungry. This is a great program.
Danielle says
What a great program! This makes me want to go and purchase some bags to donate. That way it’s double the rewards. We don’t have any cats, but I’m a lover of all animals.
Wendy @ ABCs and Garden Peas says
This is awesome! I love to see companies giving back in any capacity, but to our furry friends – it really warms my heart!

Now this sounds like a program I can stand behind. I hate knowing how many animals there are out there who are hungry. Thanks for sharing.
Jeni Hawkins says
This is great! It seems like a pretty amazing program, and important, for sure!
Heather @ Kraus House Mom says
My daughter wants everyone to bring pet food to her birthday so she can donate it to a local groomer that runs a pet food pantry for people that can’t afford pet food.
Brett says
We did that one year. Always a hit. And unfortunately, ALWAYS needed!!
Robin (Masshole Mommy) says
We donate food to the local shelter, but we normally do dog food because we’re dog owners, so we just pick up extra when we buy for our dog.
Aimee Smith says
I didn’t know that you could donate food to animal shelters! What a great thing I could do with my kids to get them inspired about helping others.
Jeanette says
Sounds like a pretty awesome program! Anything that helps animals is #1 in my book! I am a huge animal lover so this is right up my alley!
Jennifer says
I really wish I could have cats. Unfortunately, cats my my eyes go all bloodshot and gooey and my face swell up. =(
Melissa Lawler says
I have two Maine Coons that adopted me. One of them is sitting on my lap helping me type this!
