On Saturday, November 22, 2008, in the visitors' parking lot at Rikers Island, Queens, the New York City Feral Cat Initiative (NYCFCI) distributed nearly 35,000 pounds of Meow Mix cat food, donated by parent company Del Monte Foods, to volunteer caretakers feeding managed feral cat colonies throughout New York City. The generous contribution helps soften the cost of providing food this coming winter to the many thousands of homeless cats living on the city's streets, and continues a tradition of abundant Meow Mix donations to assist this segment of the humane community over the last several years. Through donations of Meow Mix and its other pet food brands, Del Monte Foods is a strong supporter of animal rescue and shelter organizations throughout the country. Transportation for this donation was arranged by FreeHaul, NPC, a non-profit organization moving donated goods to charities across the U.S. The NYCFCI wishes to thank Del Monte Foods for its continued support of animal rescue and in particular, for this timely food donation.
