Animal Welfare Professionals

Hi everyone.
I always say that Garden City Community Cats Project doesn't really rescue cats. We rescue the caregivers that rescue the cats. We give out about $1000 of cat food a month to our colony caregivers so they can continue to feed and care for their cats. This helps guarantee that they will continue caring for the cats without a hardship to themselves and continues our relationship so that we can spay and neuter any new cats for them for free.

GCCCP puts out a newsletter every two months to get the community caught up on all the work that we have been doing. We have a wish list on both Amazon and Chewy. Supports loved ordering food off our wish list, and after the newsletter went out it looked like Christmas at my door. But reasonable cat food has become nonexistent on Amazon. Everything says out of stock, so nothing comes. Chewy has a few reasonable brands I will ask for. Even if community members go to the trouble to pick up bags of food from stores they're hard to find.

Has anyone noticed this?

So my question is does anyone know a source for low cost cat food. Even wholesale. We wouldn't mind buying a large amount for a discount price, even a reasonable price. I'm looking for a dollar a pound. I don't distribute food that is mostly corn and filler. No animal deserves that.

Hi! Have you looked into getting bulk food for free from your local Amazon warehouses, Chewy, Petsmart, and other large local stores? Many places will dump torn bags or nearly-expired food that's still perfectly good to eat, but folks who build relationships with them can often get called to pick up free food before it goes in the trash. Some of them also have programs to proactively distribute food. If you haven't yet, I'd definitely start asking around in your area!
