FANCY FEAST® BRAND INTRODUCES NEW ENTRÉE WITH GIVEAWAY ON FACEBOOK

Win A Sample of Recipe Inspired by Fancy Feast^® 2011 TasteMakers^™ Contest Winner Available Exclusively on Facebook While Supplies Last

The Fancy Feast brand invites consumers to join its online community of devoted cat lovers for an opportunity to receive a special first taste of the new Elegant Medleys entrée, Yellowfin Tuna & Shrimp Recipe With Wild Rice in Gravy, months before it arrives on store shelves nationwide. The new variety of Fancy Feast^® Elegant Medleys^™ was influenced by the special relationship contest winner Joan Spector shares with her cats – Ginger and Wasabi – and their love of seafood.

Consumers and guest judge Carla Hall – co-host of ABC’s “The Chew,” a finalist on Bravo’s “Top Chef” and proud owner of an adopted cat, Alchemy, voted to select the grand prize winning entry. After her entry titled “Purrrfect Sushi” was named winner of the TasteMakers Contest in August 2011, Spector received $10,000 and a one-year supply of Fancy Feast Elegant Medleys Gourmet Cat Food.  

Along with her recipe, Spector submitted a photo and story about the special relationship she shares with her cats, and how her recipe was inspired by her cats’ personalities and love for fish. According to Spector, creating her winning recipe was a lot of fun. "My cats – Ginger and Wasabi – go crazy for tuna and shrimp so I used that as inspiration to create the perfect recipe,” she said. “I'm really excited for cats across the country to have a chance to taste the latest Elegant Medleys variety for themselves, and I hope they enjoy it as much as I believe my cats will."
