A Big Thanks

Iams Company Supports Mayor's Alliance with Huge Cat Food Donation

Thank you, Iams!

The Iams Company, one of the leading providers of world-class quality foods and pet care products, made an impressive show of support to the Mayor's Alliance and its participating organizations (APOs) with a donation of Iams cat food.

Five pallets of canned food, each weighing 1,600 pounds, were delivered to a Mayor's Alliance storage facility in March. The Alliance's Director of Programs, Janell Granier, got the word out to APOs throughout the city to identify the organizations interested in receiving supplies of cat food. More than 20 groups responded, and all received supplies of food. Most of the food was delivered directly to the APOs by Janell and Alliance President Jane Hoffman.

The Mayor's Alliance extends its appreciation to the Iams Company for its generosity in providing the food. The Alliance also sends a special thanks to Allene Tartaglia of the Cat Fancier's Association for so carefully arranging the donation. The Cat Fancier's Association has been extremely supportive of the Mayor's Alliance, particularly in making the Adopt-A-Cat events (associated with the annual CFA Cat Show) at Madison Square Garden so successful. This year the cat adoption event will span two days, October 8 and 9. Visit the Mayor's Alliance Upcoming Events page for more information.
