Every cat is singing the praises of Hill’s® Food, Shelter & Love Program!

Cats wind up in shelters for a variety of reasons; most of which are human fails and shouldn’t reflect negatively on the cat. By “human fails” I mean life changes and not spending the time they should getting to know their cat. Divorce, moving, marriage and having a baby are NOT acceptable reasons to give up a furry family member. Other reasons such as litter box issues, scratching, biting, furniture scratching means that the cat is being ignored. They are also human fails. Allergies don’t count either cos TW is allergic to cats but she wouldn’t live without one. Cats are family members, not disposable property. The only good reason for a cat to be in a shelter is one born on the street such as myself.

Studies show that the way a shelter cat is photographed can help him or her get adopted. No one wants to look at pics of wire cages and unhappy faces. A bright room and pretty blue backdrop worked wonders for me. TW saw my smiling stunning face online, sent the link to Pop and the rest is history.

Most people who go to shelters to adopt a new family member look for cats with bright eyes and shiny furs; alert, healthy looking cats or kittens. Sickly and flabby tabbies need not apply. This is where Hill’s® Food, Shelter & Love Program™ comes in.

The Hill’s Food, Shelter & Love™ program is based on encouraging individuals to volunteer at their local shelters; make donations to these shelters and I don’t just mean monetary donations; educating pet parents how nutritious food can help shelter pets; and helping get shelter pets adopted. Towards those aims, they’ve provided over $240 million worth of food to nearly 1000 shelters and have helped over 6 million pets find their furever castles. One of the foods they donate is Hill’s Adult Perfect Weight™ food.

Hill’s Adult Perfect Weight is available in wet and dry formulas and provides breakthrough nutrition formulated to help cats achieve a healthy weight. Prof. Keisha has the 411:

Stoli is a shelter cat who got lucky in more ways than one. After he came to the Denver Dumb Friends League, he was put on Hill’s Perfect Weight food. Then he found a furever home. Here’s his story. You can also view it on YouTube.

Hill’s Perfect Weight not only helps a cat lose weight while in the shelter but helps after the cat is in his or her new furever castle. You can purchase all formulas at Pet360.

Whoa! I blog about Hill’s Perfect Weight and it magically appears!

With the help of the Hill’s Food, Shelter & Love Program, shelters are able to turn a cat from unadoptable or difficult to adopt to a pet that people see online or walk into the shelter and point to and say, “That is the cat for me!” Follow Hill’s on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.
