PetSmart Charities, the foremost funder in animal welfare is joining forces with the newly launched brand of cat-crafted food to help find loving homes for thousands of shelter animals during PetSmart Charities' National Adoption Week, taking place July 19 – 25.
While an array of animals will be on-site for adoption, including dogs, cats, puppies, kittens and various small animals, PetSmart Charities is partnering with the known cat-lover and animal advocate to highlight the unconditional love and affection these fiercely independent and curious creatures provide, during kitten season, a time period in which shelters are facing an increased need for support.
"As a cat parent of two, my relationship with Nacho and Stella is incredibly important to me; while many know my passion for cooking, my cats are my family," said Bobby Flay. "As founder of Made by Nacho, it is Nacho's hope that all cats have the loving home they deserve. Made by Nacho is excited to partner with PetSmart Charities, to help raise awareness for all pets in need, to find their forever homes," added Flay.
PetSmart is ensuring pets who find their forever homes during National Adoption Week are ready for life with their new pet parents, by providing complimentary adoption kits for dogs (valued at $450) and cats (valued at $300) for all of the supplies they may need, including a coupon for a free bag of pet food. As a special incentive, cat adopters will receive a coupon for one free 3oz pouch of Made by Nacho Cuts in Gravy with bone broth and $5.00 off one bag of Made by Nacho high-protein kibble with freeze-dried chicken liver, any size, any flavor, while supplies last.
Additionally, cat adopters will be invited to participate in a live, virtual Cat Chat with Bobby and Nacho Flay taking place on August 24th.
The Made by Nacho team will donate $1 per cat adoption for the first 5,000 adoptions during National Adoption Week to PetSmart Charities to help even more cats in need. **
"With this National Adoption Week taking place during kitten season, we're excited to partner with Bobby and Nacho to raise awareness for shelters facing an increased need in the cat and kitten population," said Aimee Gilbreath, president of PetSmart Charities. "By adopting a pet through National Adoption Week, not only can you help reduce the strain on shelters and rescue a pet in need, but you'll also benefit from the support and unconditional love that they provide."
Each National Adoption Week, PetSmart Charities invites thousands of local humane societies, SPCAs and pet rescue organizations to bring adoptable pets into PetSmart stores across the country so they have the best chance possible of finding a loving home. Since 1994, over 9.7 million pets have been adopted through PetSmart Charities.
Those who aren't ready to expand their family and adopt a pet can still help pets in need by making a financial donation online through PetSmart Charities.
