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.

Thank you everyone who helped load up the pantry for our cats, this couldn't have happened at a better time with dog vets bills from dental surgery and a follow up emergency visit on the Saturday after.

I can't express just how much this has helped out my fur family.

Cat tax of our indoor cat just wanting to mess up all the gift receipts I have laid out

Bought the wrong kibble for my kitty and now I have a spare bag! Must be willing to meet downtown right by SJSU.

It's that time of year again where I ask for a little help taking care of our cat colony and the amazing amount of food that they go through.

CJ, Squeak, Cheese, Mac, Kimbo, Gumbo, Lily, Fig, Peanut, and Martin all thank you for your help. They are all fixed and vaccinated and I am just trying to give them the best life they can have now.

Thank you so much, without you this wouldn't be possible and I don't know how we could take care of all of them.

I got the delivery and thank you so very much again! Your generosity will definitely get us through this time. ❤️ Meowww from the kitties. 😻😻😻

Hey everyone, I'm struggling right now, after being laid off back in August. I'm kind of desperately in need of catfood and litter for my three kitties. I've got the help of a great local food pantry for myself, but they don't have anything for animals. I've got a four yr old with digestion issues, a 13 yr old with digestion issues, and a 4 yr old who will eat anything, so they all eat Purina One Sensitive Skin & Stomach dry food, and they usually use Tidy Cat litter. I've been using the lightweight because I have a frozen shoulder and it's easier when it comes time to lift the litter box and clean it out.

It's been tough year. I didn't think I would be out of a job for *this* long or that things would ever get this tight. If anyone is able to help me out, I promise I will make sure I pay it forward asap. Thank you. I can't express how grateful I am for places like this on Reddit. I'll post some pics of my furry ones so you can see how cute they are :-). I think I did the link right but not 100% on that...

hello all. from huntington, wv and in need of a box (or multiple singles) of Fancy Feast Petites in Gravy. its the only food my boys will eat and i dont have the money until friday. i lost 1 of my 2 jobs recently and my fiancée just started his new one after being wrongfully terminated at Christmas. its taking all my pride to post this and i just want my boys to be happy. 😢

Hello There

We had a pretty rough payday last week. I managed to cover bills but just saw the dog food is near empty. Looking for a little help for Ms. Sophie.

I’m a little concerned about my wishlist, her typical food (diamond naturals) is expensive. I’ve added a second brand that has a smaller bag at a lower cost. But I’m open to other brand options to tide her over at least till next payday. Only sticking point is she is allergic to chicken, which is why she’s on the pricey stuff to begin with. But if someone wants to help and knows an inexpensive chicken free brand (I tried to look but not much luck) we are open to that. As long as she has something.

Here’s a pic of the good girl

I’ve purchased dry food for him previously, but I am financially struggling and have pets of my own to care for. Any help is appreciated, he’s a lovely little guy!

Big thank you to u/mustsebra for helping us out with Cleo's food on a month me and my partner really struggled to provide for her! She was so happy to see it coming through the door.

The reason for helping was because someone had helped this person previously previously with her cat's food when she was in a tougher place money wise, and I hope to keep the cycle going and one day, when I'm in a good place as well, come back here and offer to help someone out too ❤️

I came across this sub, and I was blown away! It's amazing that there are people out there who are willing to help strangers in need. I love it! This past month has been tough. We've had 3 unexpected vet visits. Which is extremely expensive, around $640. It's really hard for me to ask for help, but I need some help. I need help getting cat food and litter for my babies. I also feed neighborhood cats around my house and my mom's house. It ends up costing a lot of money that I don't have right now. Anything is greatly appreciated. Penny, Oscar, Kiki, Otis, Emmy, and I all thank you so much in advance.

I have 3 kitties who are in need of food and litter. My disability check is on the 4th Wednesday of each month, and this month it's arriving on the 27th, which hurts for getting all of their supplies.

Jingle Belle is going to be 17 on the 22nd. Her tummy gets upset if we change her food. Gizmo will be 6 on the 31st. Piper Lu will be 4 on the 8th. I don't know how they ended up all having March birthdays!

Hello, I'm new here please correct me if I've misunderstood a rule.

I am looking for adult and puppy food for large dogs. I picked up two abandoned puppies right after Christmas and brought them home because the shelters were (and still are) all full.

I've been feeding my adult dog Nutro so the wishlist has a small bag of that. The puppies eat so much that Nutro is too expensive so I'm thinking Purina is a good middle ground for them.

So many packages have shown up from you guys over the last several days for my 15 year old baby and I'm truly overwhelmed with gratitude. 🥹

Thank you so much to every single person who sent things from our wishlist. The last couple months have been so difficult for me, and I honestly cried the happiest tears every time I opened a box and saw the lovely gift notes you all included.

I wasn't quick enough to reply to the comments in my original thread, but thank you not only for helping Nerine and I while I'm struggling financially, but also for brightening these last few days during a really hard time in my life. So grateful for this wonderful community. 🩷🩷🩷🩷

Thank you very much for helping out. I have food/ littrr to haold them over for a while. You folks are vey kind!

I came home to a huge pile of things for Marile, the cat I’ve rescued from a neglectful ex roommate. You guys are so sweet and generous, and I’m going to put all these things to good use , so she can live her best life. Thank you guys for your sweetness!

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.
