Rachael Ray™ Nutrish™ knows this and is working hard to find homes for shelter cats by taking photos that showcase their true beauty!
Sixteen cities. One goal —
To capture the TRUE BEAUTY of shelter cats
Millions of cats enter shelters every year, where they're
often quickly put into cages. They're scared, confused and sometimes even
dirty. A photo is snapped and then quickly shared, to be seen by people looking
to adopt. Unfortunately, these photos don't always capture the full beauty and
personality of the cats. That's why Rachael Ray™ Nutrish™ is proud to partner
with GreaterGood.org® and One Picture Saves a Life™. Together, they will travel
across the country taking photos worthy of these loving cats who are simply
looking for a second chance.
The The Shelter Cats Are Beautiful Tour!!
Rachael Ray Nutrish will take the “Shelter Cats areBeautiful” tour to 16 cities
across the country and offer professional grooming and
photography services to
capture the full beauty and personality of cats in need of
adoption. The
program will also provide shelters with the necessary tips,
tools and equipment
to groom and capture best possible photographs of shelter
pets in the future.
This program helps celebrate the launch of Rachael Ray
Nutrish‘s new line of
natural food for cats, which is now available in stores
nationwide. Rachael is
dedicated to helping animals in need and donates her
proceeds from the sale
of Rachael Ray Nutrish to help animal support organizations,
which has resulted
in more than $6.5 million in donations to date.
“Unfortunately there are a lot of animals in shelters that
need a home, which is
why I started my food for pets, Nutrish, as a way to
continuously fund programs
that help animals in need,” said Rachael. “Every year, 8
million scared and
disoriented pets enter the U.S. shelter system hoping for
someone to love and
care for them. With our ‘Shelter Cats Are Beautiful’ tour,
I’m hoping we help
people see just how beautiful shelter cats are, with the
goal of getting these
pets into loving homes more quickly.”
Rachael kicked off the national tour with an event in New
York City on July 11.
Then the “Shelter Cats are Beautiful” tour will continue
throughout the summer
rolling through: Bentonville, Buffalo, Charlotte, Chicago,
Cincinnati, Denver,
Detroit, (As a Nutrish Brand Advocate, I am excited because I happen to work closely with the shelter that will be a part of the tour, and I am going to have an EXCLUSIVE visit there!, Will keep you updated as the tour date draws closer!!) Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, Nashville, Orlando,
Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and San Antonio are also a part of this tour.
You can keep posted on photos of the kitties and exact dates of the tour by visiting the
Shelter Cats Are Beautiful website! (If the date and participating shelter for your city isn't there now, it will be posted soon!)

This is such an awesome event! My human really wanted to go to the Kitten Rescue date, but she has just had way too much to do!

ReplyDeleteThe Shelter Cat's Tour sounds a brilliant idea and we hope it is a great success. Bravo to all who give their time and energy to put it together.Have a terrific Tuesday.

I think that is a great idea. When I first started volunteering I did so at the Humane Society where I was not able to do anything except take one cat out at a time (out of over 200) and play with them. That was fine but I wanted to make a bigger difference so I switched shelters and was able to photograph the cats and put them on the website and on Petfinder where they would have a better chance of finding a home.
ReplyDeletethat is absolutely FANTASTIC!! Well done YOU!!!!!
DeleteThis should draw a lot of attention to kitties in shelters! Great idea!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great tour. Hopefully so many cats find wonderful homes.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful thing. Just think of all the good that could be done if more celebrities got involved.

ReplyDeleteI didn't know there was such a program for pets. Great info to educate the ignorant such as myself. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like such a great program. Good for Rachel Ray!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome!!! What a cool project. I love hearing about stuff like this :)
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful! Thank you Rachel Ray!
ReplyDeleteThat is so true. When we adopted Hana and Akua they were dirty, crusty and had mites and colds. When we would give Akua his medicine he would shake his head from side to side and it would all fly out of his mouth. Uff da. Go Rachel!
