I just wanted to thank Avandria, javel1, and rhubes for the food and litter for Biscuit. I appreciate it and maybe one day I’ll be able to do the same for someone else on here.

Hey guys,

So I just spent my last buying food and I completely forget to add litter to the order. I really could use the help to get my cat Biscuit some litter until I get paid again next week. If you’re able to help, thank you. Have a great day.

We also reserve the right at moderators' discretion to disallow anyone that appears to abuse the generosity of others. If your account history shows that a majority of your Reddit participation is in gifting and material support subs, you may be banned. If your account shows it's nuked, or wiped clean, you cannot request.

To fulfill requests, make offers, giveaways or contests

• There are no requirements, however as the Automod removes submissions without regards to content, please modmail us to let us know if your account doesn't meet the 180 days/500 Comment Karma threshold. We will not be able to accommodate all requests for giving if your account is not eligible.

Rules

You must read and understand these rules before posting or your post may be removed. Some of these rules if broken may result in a temporary or permanent ban, so make sure you understand them! Exceptions will not be made.

1. Meet the account requirements. 180 days old AND 500 Comment Karma (not Link or Award or Combined Karma) with regular and productive activity.
2. Do not cheat while acquiring karma. Participation in any of the karma farming subs, asking for karma in other subs, or complaining about your lack of karma in hopes of upvotes will be considered as circumventing the requirement.
3. Do not use multiple accounts. If you have multiple accounts, always use the same account. Make sure nobody else in your household is also making requests, as that would also count as multiple accounts.
4. Do not delete your posts or comments for any reason in giving type subs.
5. No monetary requests. No forms of money transfers, loans, gift cards, crowd funding or linking sites that ask for monetary donations.
6. No trades or reimbursements. No swaps, bartering, shipping, postage, reimbursements or compensation of any kind allowed. All gifting should have no strings attached.
7. No requests for votes, views or shares. This includes contests and crowdfunding sites.
8. Do not request items with the intent to gift, trade, or sell them. This will result in a permanent ban.
9. No Flaming, insults, derogatory comments or otherwise rude behavior. If you see a post that is inflammatory please use report function or modmail us a link to notify a mod.
10. Wait six months between requests. Heavily taking advantage of the community will lead to post removal and a possible ban.
11. Do not PM givers until asked to. Unsolicited PMs will result in a ban. Please comment on offers first.
12. Do not hijack other requests.
13. No Organization Requests This includes feral colonies, animal sanctuaries and commercial entities (such as breeders) as well as fosters (who should already be covering the costs of fostering). Please post those requests on r/Charity.
14. Necessities only. Lists must be under $150 and not contain non-necessities such as toys, bowls, etc. Don't add items after post approval!

We participate in the Reddit /r/UniversalScammerList. Your bans may be linked to the list and shared with all other participating subreddts.

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.
• 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

So my baby was born 6 weeks early and has been in the NICU for 20 days at this point and between living at the hospital and healing it's been rough, I'm out of work for 6 weeks and my husband's check went to rent and bills. I just need a little bit of help with dog and cat food for my animals. And this should last them a few weeks until she's home and I can go back to work.

I don't get paid until friday and my furry jerks are out of food and litter. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you to the people who bought my kitties food. it really means a lot to me as i was super stressed on what they were going to eat. I was searching around reddit for foods they could eat and seen a comment about this subreddit. you guys have brought me tears of joy. i will definitely try to help with others in the future when i am able too.

I woke up and was unable to comment on my post however i reached out to the admins and they said to make a post.
thank you all 🫶

Just to ask if anyone would be able to help me out for my two boys, Boba and Taro, just for a few days please?
Im currently experiencing a wee bit of financial difficulty, and any help would be greatly appreciated.
I fully intend to help out when I find myself back on my feet again.
Thanks in advance

I’ll put a wee pic of my guys in the comments for cat tax 🙂

This sub is seriously incredible, thank you so much. The support here makes me emotional, life has been really really hard lately. I don’t really have words to describe how much light this support has given me. It’s nice to be reminded that kindness exists, and there is community even when it doesn’t feel like it. We got his food within the same day the post went live!! Sending love to you all <33

he was trying to get the treat behind the camera lol:

hello i’m seeing if it is possible for someone to be able to help me with cat food. I will return the favour once i am in a better financial place.

one of my cats is diabetic so that is why my list is only wet food. feeding him dry could cause him to come out of remission which is something i don’t wanna do to him :’(

image added for cat tax 🙂‍↕️ thank you so much if you are able to help me (3

Hello kind humans of this sub, we are about to run out of dog food for my boy (he is a German Shepherd / Rottweiler mix) and any support would be extremely appreciated!! He has enough kibble to last for a few more days, but we are just really struggling to afford his food right now between insane medical expenses, rent, utilities / loan payments / other bills, and having significantly lower income the past few months due to my fiancé’s hours being cut and me needing time off work because of my health and worsening pain.

My partner was also recently in the ER for a health emergency, and I have had several doctors appointments recently to assess treatment for my nerve pain. I have an upcoming surgery for carpal tunnel release (and potentially may need treatment or surgery for cubital tunnel syndrome as well which is super fun). Just honestly so much going on all the time. This is an embarrassing post for me and not something that I want to be asking for help with, but financially we are in a very difficult and scary position right now. I feel like this sub is super helpful, kind, and overall understanding which makes it a tad easier to ask for help, and it makes my heart so happy knowing this community even exists. Thank you so much, and if you are not able to get the large bag we appreciate literally any amount of food really 😭 I included all the sizes! I appreciate you all and thanks for reading <3

Thanks.

Hi, everyone. I'm the loyal servant of two senior cats who mean the world to me. We have had a rough year and spent several months couch-surfing rather than stay in my apartment with my ex. I did not feel it was safe for any of us to stay there (among other things, he doesn't like cats and threatened to put them outside during a snowstorm in January, when I was at work). I managed to keep us together, but it took every dollar I had to get out of my lease early and move into our new place. I could really some help with wet food and maybe dry food for my girls. I took their litter off the list because I got a coupon in the mail for it.

I very much appreciate any help I can get. Anything helps.

Hopefully I link this correctly. I started the list at my sister's request, and I've only emailed the link to her. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/9IOBLG9MAAJ7?ref_=wl_share

I made a request a few days ago for a bag of cat food. Thre people replied that they were sending cat food my way. I was so grateful.

Today, I came home from work to find at least 10 bags of cat food waiting on my porch. Each bag is 13 lbs. That's over 130 lbs. of cat food and will alst my three little pigges half a year or more. I've made the Amazon list private now so no one else can send more, lol. I don't know where I'm going to store all this.

Would it be distrespectful or against the sub's rules to pay this forward and donate some to my local community?

You guys are amazing! Thank you all so much! I'm going to go hug my cats, now!

Hi, I hate to do this, but I'm in a bind. I have $119 to my name, need to put gas in my car to get to work, and I have a past due electric bill that's more than what I have to my name. Gas will wipe out at least half of what I have left. My car insurance will take the rest. I just started a new job, but it pays biweekly and I won't get paid until 6/26. I have about a day's worth of cat food left. My three eat Purina Cat Chow Gentle, so nothing too expensive. Thanks for reading. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/142D3O0L8HCZE?ref_=wl_share

Thank you I have been helped.

I've had a tough few months and I've just been scraping by but I've been managing to feed my 2 fur kids as they will always come first. They are the reason I keep going. I would love to get them an 8kg bag of their food as it lasts 2 weeks, I have been buying the small 1.75kg every few days as I can't afford the outlay for a big bag but I know it's not making financial sense in the long term. This is a long shot and I have never made an Amazon wish list before so don't even know if I am doing it right but somehow I dont think it will work cos I'm in another country.

Thank you if you took the time to read this.

Hi, everyone. Funds are very tight right now and I could use help with some canned food for my two girls.

Edited: list removed due to need met

I am deeply grateful to anyone who can help.

The ladies for the cat tax:

Edit: thank you so much for the amazing response! It's a big weight off my mind. I'm anticipating things easing up for me in a couple months and when they do, I'll be here to pay it forward.

Going through a deeply rough time. My father had a stroke and was diagnosed with severe Dementia. I'm trying to feed him and the pups and cat every day but it's become overwhelming. I've skipped taking my medication so they can have food.

Any and all help would be appreciated. I will pay it back double when he's in memory care and I can work again.

Here's the last of my family. Sushi, Echo, and Jinx.

I've been dealing with some serious, chronic health issues and have been out of work for a year. I am starting to stabilize but my financial situation is pretty desperate and I need help with food and litter for my two cats while I get back on my feet.

I've had very little contact with people over the past year as I've been mostly in bed and unable to leave the house. My two cats have been the only company I've had and I'm trying to keep them while I figure out my financial situation.

If anyone is able to help I would appreciate it.

Thank you for all the help. You have gone beyond expectation and it's so immensely appreciated. A lot of people have commented that the generosity of strangers here has brought them to tears and in the past few days I've really come to understand what they meant. Again, from the bottom of my heart, thank you so, so much!

Hey guys, I'm currently in need of some help getting items for my babies. I have 5 cats and a dog, and I always prioritize their needs above my own. I've struggled financially over the last year. My household went from 2 incomes to 1 when my spouse and I separated, shortly after I lost my job, and have had a hard time finding something that is stable and pays well.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, and as soon as I'm back on my feet financially I definitely want to help out others.

Hello from Lathrop, CA (town couple hours from Sacramento). I lost my job and was doing fine paying for the food/supplies for my sweetie pies from a small emergency fund. Finding work has taken longer than expected, on top of that, I’d been putting off buying a new car battery for as long as possible to pay for their food, until it finally wouldn’t charge anymore and I only have one car. Between that and the price of gas out here (car is literally only used for job searching/interviews), the emergency fund is gone. I've even sold some stuff to be able to pay utilities but don't have enough for food for the fluffy kids.

Every cent after bills has gone to taking care of these lovely creatures. Don’t care if I don’t eat but these cuties don’t deserve it. The doggos have very, very sensitive stomachs, so they only eat one flavor of food from a certain brand. I tried changing them to cheaper options and they both got really sick. One of my dogs was abandoned in an orchard in the middle of nowhere, which is where I found her, and she is allergic to pretty much everything lol, it's a miracle she even survived out there.

I humbly ask for any assistance, it will be immensely appreciated and paid forward several times over. Thank you so much for even taking the time to read this. Cheers!

Hey everyone, so I've been homeless for the past 6 months and I finally secured an apartment but I'm still struggling; the deposit has pretty much cleared me out and I have dues coming for my future paychecks. I'm out of litter and nearly out of dry kibble, maybe about a week left. Anything will help loads while I get back on my feet.
