Who receives the free kibble?
Mimi Launched freekibble on April 01, 2008. On May 14, she delivered her first round (April’s donations - see video) of kibble to the Humane Society of Central Oregon: 240 lbs. and enough to feed 456 dogs for one day! Since then and as of November 6, 2009, freekibble and freekibblekat, have raised over 250,000 lbs. (125 tons!!!) of kibble.
Freekibble now has 13 shelters across the country on a monthly program (see list).
How can I help donate more free kibble?
Spread the word! The more people that play Meow Trivia, the more kibble we can donate. So, the more people you share freekibblekat.com with, the more food for the cats. Email friends, family, office mates... spread the kibble word and play every day!
If I miss a day, will it mess up my donations for the next time?No, every day you answer the Meow Trivia question (right or wrong), we will donate 10 pieces of kibble. However, the more consistent you are, the more kibble we can donate. To make it easier to remember, you can make freekibblekat.com your home page!
Why 10 pieces of free kibble per answer?After lots of thought and calculations, this is the amount of high quality kibble we can guaranty supplying based on our current level of sponsor support. If we’re able to generate additional sponsorship for more kibble, we’ll increase this amount. 10 pieces is also an easy # to track...
Who pays for the donated kibble?We're very happy to say that we're partnering with our Founding Sponsor Castor & Pollux, as well as Felidae Cat Food to feed these hungry dogs and cats a very high quality, all natural kibble - a very decent dinner! Thank you Castor & Pollux and Felidae Cat Food!
Does free kibble make money from this?Nope. It’s for the cats, not for profit.
Why only one trivia question per day?We want to keep it fresh and interesting - and we want you to come back and play Meow Trivia often... even every day. Also, we don’t want to get people in trouble at their work for playing Meow Trivia all day long...
Does playing Meow Trivia help me in other ways?Yes, aside from helping to feed hungry cats, you’ll learn a lot of fun and interesting things about cats along the way.
Are there banners I can use to link to freekibblekat.com?Yes, you can click here for a freekibblekat.com banner.
Who distributes the donated kibble?At the end of each month, Mimi will personally deliver all the free kibble to the HSCO. We will be working with Castor and Pollux to distribute the kibble to all the other animal shelters we plan on assisting.
Will the kibble I donate make a difference?Yes, yes, yes. Every time you play it makes a difference. Animal shelters are in need of all the help they can get from their communities and supplying good, healthy cat food is hugely beneficial. Every 10 pieces of kibble counts!
What else can I do to help?Call or email your local animal shelter. They can give you any number of ways to help, from volunteering time, donating money or supplies... and of course adopting a cat.
