Hi everyone.... I need help feeding my babies this month. Struggling to pay utilities and rent. I can eat less but they should not have to! Anything I would graciously accept!https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1TS1U77M08DCF?ref_=wl_share

Lynnwood Washington This is really hard for me to ask as I am mostly an don't worry I can do it kind of person but with my hours being cut at work it's getting hard for me to feed my two cat babies. If anyone could help that would be most apprecated https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1YM2Z2LWL5HNP?ref_=wl_share

I have been out of work for almost a year and struggling. I just started working last week, but my first paycheck isn't until mid Dec. I just need food for the next 3 weeks. There are 3 outside abandoned cats I feed and provide yearly shots for, plus my indoor one.

I added flea medicine because the outside ones got worms from flea bites. They are treated now, which is also why I am extra short right now.

Thank you to any who can help.

Thank you so so much!!! 💓

I hate to ask but I'm just about out of kibble and have been stretching what's left with homemade. I've had health issues recently that have made it necessary to drastically cut my work hours. I've also thrown in few treats she enjoys. She's allergic to chicken, finicky, and super sensitive to lots of stuff thus the fancy food. I've included a picture of her at the end in all of her Falcorian glory and also giving a little sassy side eye. Im hoping to be back on my feet and pay it forward soon. We're in Bend, Oregon.

FULFILLED Thank you all so much ❤️ Hello! I have a senior chihuahua with Cushing ‘s disease. He is getting older so is also having problems with seeing, hearing, and mobility. I try to keep up with all his supplements but it gets harder during the holidays. We are located in Cleveland,OH,USA. Thanks for taking the time to read <3 amazon wishlist and of course photo of my boy

I'm so thankful that this wonderful subreddit is back open! 🩷 I could really use some help right now; I'm currently living in a hotel (and facing eviction because I fell behind on paying) with my dog and senior cat and we're really struggling. We're located in Portland, OR.

Nerine turned 16 last month and she has stage 3 kidney disease and inflammatory bowel disease, so we go through a lot of litter and her stomach is very sensitive, so it's been difficult to afford her food. My dog also has a sensitive tummy. Here's our Amazon wishlist

If anyone could help us out, I would be so grateful 🫶🏻

Pictures of my perfect babies!

After some technical difficulties, we're back!

Please remember to read the rules before posting.

I've hit a rough patch and need to be able to at least make it till next week for pet food. I'm have a St Bernard with crazy energy, and a very sensitive stomach (as well as incredibly picky). I did put some options as far as size.

I feed the cats a mix of wet and dry to make sure they're getting enough liquid intake.

I appreciate any help

Hello! Iowan native here.

I hate doing this, but I come here asking for help with dog and cat food. I have 3 dogs and 2 cats. I am unable to work right now because of my health and just struggling to make ends meet. Any help is appreciated.

I hope it was ok to add training pads. My old dog has some hip problems and somedays the stairs going outside are not his friend.

Hi, I’ve had a rough few months and despite trying to avoid it affecting my 3 cats, I’ve reached the point where I can’t afford food for them. We run out in 4 days, I’ve tried rationing with smaller portions, and I’ve been living off leftover freezer/cupboard food and the food bank. I’ve got no friends or family to help, I’m disabled and I’m just trying to get by. My grandparents died a couple of months ago and on top of mourning, there were some unexpected bills with that. I just don’t want my cats to suffer because of me, they’re the only joy in my life right now. Hopefully things will return to normal starting August but I've got to get by until then.

I’ve made an Amazon list with a few different foods they can eat, and a box of cat litter. I appreciate anyone who’s taken the time to read or maybe help us. Thank you.

Hello! So due to an error regarding my paycheck, I will not be getting paid until next week. As it stands, I'm running out of dog food and the amount Yōkai has left will not be enough to last him. I'm hoping that someone here would be able to help me get just enough food to last him until I get paid. If anyone can, I'll greatly appreciate it.

Request fulfilled. Thank you all SO so very much. This has been an enormous bright spot given everything lately. I am so blown away by the kindness of strangers. Removed link to show fulfilled, as well. Hope that was okay!

Location: Washington, USA

I can’t believe I’ve gotten to this point but I lost my job after an injury in November and unemployment has run out. In my state, Washington, there’s no extension of benefits. I’m working towards supplementing my job hunt with side hustles but this got majorly sidetracked because my aunt, who was like a mom to me, just died 12 weeks after being diagnosed with a brain tumor so I spent the remainder of my savings on going to Montana - once in April to see her before she passed and again this month for her services (I’d be happy to show proof of any of this privately).

Bea is a 13 year old lady with a severe chicken allergy. After pandemic related supply chain issues with prescription food in 2021, her vet and I established these products as safe for her. Even though they’re awfully expensive, I’m too scared to risk having to take her to the vet by triggering an allergic reaction switching up her food. The dry lasts for 2.5 months and I’ve started to spread her wet food out every other day. This would be such a huge help to us both and get her by for the next couple of months. I look forward to being able to repay it in kind once I am stable in a new job.

Thank you.

This is Bea.

i started a new job to start my career path and took a big pay cut in doing so (from serving to vet assistant). just put 700$ into fixing my car and we’re just broke, used the last of their dry food this morning. my credit cards are locked at the moment so it all just sucks. if you can help i’d really appreciate it. going to apply for food stamps tonight. thank you SO MUCH in advance.

Thank you! 💗💗.I wanted to thank everyone for you kind generosity of helping us with food for our furbabie. My partner, kitty and I are so extremely grateful and thankful for your help. All the food arrived a little bit ago. Again, thank you everyone so much!

Looking for some help. I’m drowning financially at the moment, especially with recent medical bills and would be very appreciative of any help for my kitty. She is good on cat litter but would definitely need some dry and wet food this month. if anyone would be so kind to help,we’d be really appreciative

Thank you so much

A month ago I lost 2 toes in a lawnmower accident which has put me out of work. I cannot afford cat food at the moment. I'm currently looking for work that can accommodate my heel baring weight limit, but I haven't been successful. I never thought I would be in this position, but my kitty is the only thing getting me through this otherwise crazy time in my life. I just need enough cans of wet food and some dry food to get by for the next week. Anything would help. I don't know if I've done this correctly but My amazon list with what I need:https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/14AOIV7V9A91Y?ref_=wl_share

In a tight spot financially but able to grind and scrape by mostly (Paying for two different households currently due to moving, struggling to make enough $ for rent at one. We are moving from a bigger city to a smaller city) However the one thing I'm worried I will not be able to afford is my dogs dasuquin. She is only 4 but I like keeping her on it because she often favors her left back leg, especially with outside time and also we have no carpet (at either house), although she has different dog beds she always seems to lay on the ground but that too causes her to limp a bit when she first gets up and has to walk it off. So we started her on dasuquin earlier this year and I can tell some improvement! Id really hate for her to go without it until we can get our finances in order. 1 bag should last over two months. Someone mentioned to me about this subreddit so figured I'd give it a shot. Thank you 🙏

Essentially we have four cats whom we love but one of them has been fighting eosinophilic granuloma complex… in the form of plaques and lesions. If you know anything about this, it’s hard to treat and hard to pinpoint the allergy. Well, after spending 100s on vet visits and $$ for food trials and error so far for the past few weeks she has been good on a specific limited diet food! The coaster sized hole in her abdomen that she ripped open is finally closed up. Just hoping someone can help get a bag or so to keep the kibble flowing for another few weeks and then I should be capable to cover it price wise🌞

If your account shows it's nuked, or wiped clean, you cannot request.

To fulfill requests, make offers, giveaways or contests

• There are no requirements, however as the Automod removes submissions without regards to content, please modmail us to let us know if your account doesn't meet the 90 days/500 Comment Karma threshold. We will not be able to accommodate all requests for giving if your account is not eligible.

Rules

You must read and understand these rules before posting or your post may be removed. Some of these rules if broken may result in a temporary or permanent ban, so make sure you understand them! Exceptions will not be made.

1. Meet the account requirements. 90 days old AND 500 Comment Karma (not Link or Award or Combined Karma) with regular and productive activity.
2. Do not cheat while acquiring karma. Participation in any of the karma farming subs, asking for karma in other subs, or complaining about your lack of karma in hopes of upvotes will be considered as circumventing the requirement.
3. Do not use multiple accounts. If you have multiple accounts, always use the same account. Make sure nobody else in your household is also making requests, as that would also count as multiple accounts.

13. No Shelter Requests. This includes not only shelters, but also animal sanctuaries and commercial entities (such as breeders) and most importantly, animal hoarding situations.. Please post those requests on r/Charity.

We participate in the Reddit /r/UniversalScammerList. Your bans may be linked to the list and shared with all other participating subreddts.

How to make a Request

• Make sure your request post has a title that starts with: [Request]. Please note, square brackets [], not parentheses () and not the curly brackets {} either.
• Include your city, state/province and country if not USA.

Example: [Request] NYC, NY - Looking for crickets for my lizards.

• Include some text in your post letting us know what kind of specifics for this. Also, include a wishlist with ONLY the item(s) you're requesting. This can be from Amazon or or other site of your choosing that allows direct purchase from wish lists. This will allow items to be sent to you without necessarily giving your address away.
• And please share a photo of your pet(s)! We want to see those fuzzy, feathered, furry, scaley, finny, family members of yours!

How to make an Offer/Contest/Giveaway

• Make sure your offer post has a title that starts with: [Offer]. Please note, square brackets [], not parentheses () and not the curly brackets {} either.
• If you are restricting your offer to a specific geographic area, please include that in your title.

Example: [Offer] NYC, NY - I have an extra 20lb bag of dog food my dog won't eat.

• Include some text to describe your offer and details about getting it to someone.
• DO NOT ALLOW PEOPLE TO PRIVATE MESSAGE YOU FIRST. This allows the Automoderator to screen out people who don't meet account requirements, allows the human mods to vet requestors, and prevents people from contacting you with a similar but different account. Example: ReallyCoolDragons vs ReaIIyCooIDragons

How to fulfill someone's Request

• Leave a comment on their post. Provide an tracking/order number, if you're fulfilling a wish list item or shipping something of your own.

How to take up someone's Offer/Contest/Giveaway

• Leave a comment on their post to let them know you're interested. DO NOT PM THEM FIRST
• Once the person making the offer responds, THEN you can work out details in private.

If we receive a complaint that an unsolicited private message was made to take up an offer, the offender will be banned.

Other things to remember

• Stay safe. Only give personal information such as address away in PM. If you are a minor, we recommend not giving out your address.
• Use the search function. Many requests and offers have been made. People may still be willing to offer kindness even if their post is old. Please respect offers that are flaired as closed.
• Make sure your post is clear. Vague posts let less attention and may be removed until you clarify what you are asking for.
• Keep your post updated. Make sure you update the post so others know if your request was fulfilled or the offer was given away.
• Don't use link shorteners. Shortened links like Amazon's A.CO get removed by Reddit's site-wide spam filter. Please share the full link! To get that link, click the a.co link yourself and then copy the full URL from that page.
• Remember to thank the giver. They love to know that an item was received and it is always nice to thank the person who sent you something.
• Try to give as good as you get. Balance the number of REQUESTs you make with an equal number of OFFERs. Members will respect you more and won't think you're taking advantage of them.
• Always pay it forward! Continue the cycle of kindness by passing on the kindness offered to you in any way you can.

Methods of Buying Pet Food

• Amazon Wish List (Create Wishlist) People can then find your wish list using your email and purchase items for you. When searching for items to add to your wishlist, consider checking the settings along the left hand side to choose "Free Super Saver Shipping" or "Prime Eligible," whichever appears. This eliminates third party sellers who often have expensive shipping costs. Third-party sellers often display good prices but have shipping costs that make them more expensive than the options sold directly by Amazon.com.
• Walmart: Wishlist features available.
• This area needs updated. Too many people are asking for gift cards and either not using them, or trying to sell them.

Hi, I am currently out of work due to debilitating vertigo which has left me bed bound. I am on disability which isn’t even enough to cover rent or food. I’ve never been one to ask for help. I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could help get a bag of dry food for my two dogs. Thank you so much in advance! List

Hello everyone. I’m asking for some help for my 2 cats and my dog. I’m an Uber driver and I’ve been renting a car with them since getting into a car accident 6 months ago. The rental company took their car back 2 weeks ago and haven’t let me rent a new car yet. I’m really struggling at the moment and my babies are about to run out of food within the next week. All help is seriously appreciated.

I have pictures of my babies in my profile for tax 💚

Louie Jr. is orphaned. My dog, Josie, fell in love with a pure chihuahua next door. Everything was fine and we all were happy, she got pregnant and joyful. Winter came and there was a natural gas leak, which took a toll on her during labor. Josie passed next day after Jr was born. He was fully fed in mother’s milk for 24hs. Jr is healthy. I took care of Louie as orphaned newborn by the book: kept him warm all the time, newborn puppy formula in newborn puppy bottles, hygiene, weight scale, and teaching eliminate. I am blessed to own my work schedule, so I could be at home every 4hs. But my business was robbed, and I went to zero income, temporarily. Soon I will be back on my feet, But Louie needs dog food asap. The love of my life can eat any human food, but he needs the balanced dog chow. His preferred brand lasts longer, and its high quality. Its same brand his mother was raised, and will do whatever to feed him with the best dog food, and occasional stakes.

I am so grateful for the generosity of people I have not met! The canned food and kitty litter arrived this afternoon, and even though it is usually scheduled for morning, I opened a can for the boys and they approved of the offering (two mornings without their canned food was making them alternate between buttering me up and showing me annoyance). Dry food for cats and dogs still has a couple of days left before they are empty, and your kindness has allowed me a sigh of relief. ❤️

Wish I could share pics of the happy crew. There might be a few in posts on my profile - I am not sure.

This is such a relief for me. Thank you again.

Hello!! I'm on disability and I have recently encountered some financial hardship. This has left me unable to afford sufficient dog food. I have two dogs who are the center of my world.

This is the Amazon list. It's a single bag. The older dog has skin issues with many foods, especially chicken, but the Blue Buffalo lamb and rice works for her. If someone has a cheaper but similar recommendation, I can add it.

Thank you so much. I appreciate the help more than I can convey.

Hello! I'm requesting cat food for my cats as well as my sister in law's cats. My husband is bed bound from a stroke and I'm his main caretaker. I can't get paid for it because I'm his spouse, so we live off his social security, which isn't much because he had his stroke at 37 years old. His sister is also staying with us right now because she broke her foot and ankle, and our house has no stairs and is wheelchair friendly. She bought her 4 cats and we have 4 ourselves (it's a lot of cats, but she'll only be her for 3 or 4 weeks and thankfully they all get along really well). My niece, who we recently got custody of, and my sister in law's daughter have also taken to feeding the strays in the area when we can afford extra food and they're really sad they haven't been able to do that for the past few days(the cats all have the ear clip, so we know they're fixed, otherwise we'd try to help with that). Between my sister in law not being able to work right now and having to pay out of pocket for one of my husband's anti seizure meds, money is super tight at the moment and I have no idea how we're going to get cat food or litter. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!!

List

My cat has digestive issues and I had to try a lot of different foods before I found one that worked, so I have some dry and wet cat food up for grabs. Local pick up only, and please take it all and don't leave anything behind.

Dry food = Blue Buffalo basics skin and stomach care, 1 unopened bag.

Wet food = variety of fancy feast flavors, Instinct rabbit, natural balance salmon and pea, Hills digestive care

Full disclosure, the Hills and fancy feast (small cans) were left in a hot car for an unknown amount of time. I googled a bit and it seems they should still be good, but they should get the sniff test before feeding them to any cats. Everything else was stored in my apartment.

Please give me a 5 minute warning when you are on your way to pick up so I can put them outside, there's no good shady area for me to leave it and my buildings management doesn't like things being left out. I am near the border of New Brunswick and Somerset.

I just learned about this group not too long ago and I’m so glad I did. We’ve hit a few rough patches over the last 9/10 months and are now out of dog food. I would so appreciate anything on the list, but mostly the dog food. I did add some bones as my dogs love them and haven’t had one in awhile. I wish I would have noticed that we were out earlier, but unfortunately I did not.

Messed this up twice. Should have written down the example by hand instead of trying from memory.

Need food for two dogs: terrier mix (13M) Hank and Great Pyrenees mix Ursula (11 mos F). Food for two older DSH kittens, Monty(M) and Lombok (M). List is here

I work full time, so it hurts my pride to have to ask for help, but I'm doing this alone and I can't stand the thought of failing my goodest girl. Below is an Amazon wishlist link--I tried to find the best combination of price, quantity and quality that won't tear her stomach up. Thank you for looking, and since I can't seem to publish a photo with my post, I'll put one in the first comment.
