Cat Food Company Cuts a Deal For Shelters With PETCO

Petco, the ubiquitous pet supply store, is helping out area animal shelters with cans of cat food.

Local Petco stores have partnered with a pet food company, Royal Canin, to donate food based on customer traffic.

Next weekend, Petco hosts a "Get One, Give One" deal with Royal Canin.

July 8-10 at Petco, Royal Canin will give out two free cans of Adult Instinctive or Ultra Light adult feline wet formula for cats.

For each can given away, the Royal Canin company will match it with a product donation to the PETCO Foundation.

“This is a great opportunity for us to support the amazing work of the PETCO Foundation and our animal welfare partners with the optimum nutrition that all animals deserve,” said Staci Kombrink, Brand Manager at Royal Canin.

Royal Canin and Petco also had this to say in a written statement:

"(This) supports the PETCO Foundation’s animal welfare partners, a nationwide network of shelter partners connected by special collection bins in PETCO stores.

Customers can provide ongoing support to animal welfare partners by dropping off food or cat litter donations purchased during their shopping trip at PETCO in the donation bins at the front of the store.

These contributions will go to animal welfare partners across the country.

The ongoing program launched in February 2010 and has since collected more than 500,000 pounds of food and added 400 new charitable partners.

The nearest Petco for Sunset Hills and Crestwood seems to be in   Kirkwood, 1125 South Kirkwood Rd., 63122, phone 314-822-2997.
