Shopping with a purpose feels good, and when you shop with iHeartCats, the goodness never stops! For every purchase you make, you help feed shelter cats and kittens looking for their forever homes. And Mittens the tabby kitten wants to thank you for choosing to shop where your purchases make a difference!

Thanks to a partnership between iHeartCats and Greater Good Charities, every purchase made helps rescue facilities and shelters continue to save dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens. And the GOODS Program, a pet food distribution initiative in the Greater Good Charities family, has been keeping hungry bellies full for over a decade. To date, the GOODS program has delivered over 578 million meals to shelters and rescues across the country. That’s more than 6,000 truckloads delivered to hungry animals!

Left Behind But Still Full of Love

Two-year-old Mittens found herself all alone when the family she loved picked up and moved away from their home in Sedalia, Missouri, leaving her abandoned and hungry. But the rescue group Pawsibilities Are Endless was there to save her! Through the GOODS program, the cat lovers of Pawsibilities were able to keep this sweet tabby girl’s belly full of hearty, nutritious food. And once Mittens knew the food would no longer be scarce, her purrsonality began shining in her foster home.

Though her past family had let her down, her heart was full of love, and she craved snuggles. And when she wasn’t cuddling, Mittens was always ready to play.

“This goofy girl even sleeps with her tongue out,” said Pawsibilities. “How cute!!”

While she was happy at her foster home, there was one thing she really wanted more than anything else, sharing on Pawsibilities Are Endless’ Facebook, “I am a friendly girl and would love to find a forever family where I can play and curl up safely to sleep.”

Soon, Mitten’s dream came true.

“Mittens has been adopted into a wonderful family and is living the good life,” according to Pawsibilities.

And Pawsibilities Are Endless says they couldn’t have helped Mittens without donations from the GOODS Program.

“The GOODS Program donating food and cat litter has helped us put more funds towards medical and less than towards those everyday needed items!”

Because you helped make these donations possible, Mittens says thank you for making her hopes a reality. Now, treat yourself and your cat to something cute and feel good knowing cats and dogs are chowing down thanks to your great taste!
