The Maker of ARM & HAMMER™ Cat Litter Launches "Feline Generous," an Online Platform That Puts Local Cat Shelters Front and Center to Increase Adoption and Donations

EWING, N.J., Dec. 10, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Church & Dwight Co., Inc., the maker of ARM & HAMMER™ Cat Litter, today announced the launch of "Feline Generous," an online platform that easily connects people to a network of local cat shelters across the country to help increase adoption and generate product and monetary donations, including access to shelter-specific Amazon Wish Lists. Feline Generous is meant to inspire cat lovers to celebrate the joy that comes from adopting a cat by giving back to local shelters that make cat adoption possible in return.

According to the ASPCA, each year approximately 3.2 million cats enter U.S. animal shelters nationwide and out of that, 1.6 million cats are adopted. It takes a tremendous amount of dedication and resources to coordinate such a high volume of adoptions and ongoing care for the remaining cats. It's through kind hearts and generous donations that many of these organizations are able to be maintained and bring so many people joy with their adopted cats.

"We've heard so many touching stories from our ARM & HAMMER™ cat litter consumers about how much happiness adopting a cat has brought to their lives," said Rebecca Blank, Group Brand Manager, ARM & HAMMER™ Pet Care. "We're excited to celebrate these tails of love and all the unsung heroes who work tirelessly at community cat shelters to make sure 1.6 million cats find loving furr-ever homes each year. Feline Generous offers thankful pet owners and cat lovers an engaging way to celebrate the incredible work that shelters are doing."

Local cat shelters from all parts of the country, including New Jersey, California, Texas, Washington, Delaware and Illinois, have been among the first selected, just in time for the holidays. As a way to say thank you to the first Feline Generous shelter partners who joined the network, the maker of ARM & HAMMER™ Cat Litter will be surprising each shelter with a donation of 1,000 pounds of cat litter.
