Rachael Ray and GreaterGood Announce National Tour to Give Shelter Cats a Second Chance
Rachael Ray Nutrish's “Shelter Cats are Beautiful” Tour Will Make Stops in 16 Cities Nationwide in an Effort to Increase Adoptions.
Seattle, WA, July 09, 2014 --(PR.com)-- In partnership with GreaterGood.org’s One Picture Saves A Life program, Rachael Ray Nutrish will take the “Shelter Cats are Beautiful” tour to 16 cities across the country and offer professional grooming and photography services to capture the full beauty and personality of cats in need of adoption. The program will also provide shelters with the necessary tips, tools and equipment to groom and capture best possible photographs of shelter pets in the future.
This program helps celebrate the launch of Rachael Ray Nutrish‘s new line of natural food for cats, which is now available in stores nationwide. Rachael is dedicated to helping animals in need and donates her proceeds from the sale of Rachael Ray Nutrish to help animal support organizations, which has resulted in more than $6.5 million in donations to date.
“Unfortunately there are a lot of animals in shelters that need a home, which is why I started my food for pets, Nutrish, as a way to continuously fund programs that help animals in need,” said Rachael. “Every year, 8 million scared and disoriented pets enter the U.S. shelter system hoping for someone to love and care for them. With our ‘Shelter Cats Are Beautiful’ tour, I’m hoping we help people see just how beautiful shelter cats are, with the goal of getting these pets into loving homes more quickly.”
Rachael will kick off the national tour with an event in New York City on July 11. Then the “Shelter Cats are Beautiful” tour will continue throughout the summer rolling through: Bentonville, Buffalo, Charlotte, Chicago, Cincinnati, Denver, Detroit, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, Nashville, Orlando, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and San Antonio. People can follow the tour via www.ShelterCatsAreBeautiful.com to check out photos of the adoptable animals, read further details on local market stops, view tips on how to take better pet photos and more.
