| Typist: Bethany The day that I met and fell in love with Amelia, I excitedly left the shelter with my newly adopted cat (who was yet-to-be-named Amelia.) I also carried out a bag of Hill's Science Diet for Cats. The shelter I adopted both Emily and Amelia from is part of Hill's Food, Shelter & Love Program. Hill's provides significantly discounted food for every dog and cat in the shelter as well as a bag of Science Diet food or a $5 off coupon with each adopted pet. Since 2002, Hill's has donated $240 million worth of food to almost 1,000 shelters across the United States. |  One of the first photo's of Amelia in her forever home |
After getting my beautiful new kitty settled in her room and calling our veterinarian to schedule her first appointment, I sat down to peruse the huge packet of paperwork the shelter had sent home with me. Among all of the helpful coupons and flyers, was one from Hill's Food, Shelter & Love program to visit their new pet owner website for savings and tips on life with my new pet. It truly pleased me that Hill's mission went beyond providing food for my cat while she waited for me to find and adopt her. Hill's also wants to help families with newly adopted pets easily adjust to the major life change of caring for a new pet.

According to Hill's website, this network is "comprised of over 110 shelters in all 50 states" providing a way for expedited pet nutrition orders in case of emergency. Since the Hill's Food, Shelter & Love Program already provides for over 100,000 homeless pets everyday, 365 days a year, this new Disaster Relief Network is a natural extension of the wonderful work they already do. Hill's has already provided urgent food from Texas to Colorado. While I certainly hope none of my pets ever need them, I am glad the new Hill's Food, Shelter & Love Disaster Relief Program is out there. And I will always be grateful to Hill's for providing food to my Amelia while she waited at the shelter for me to adopt her. |
