Pet Supply Help
The local and national organizations listed below offer free or low-cost pet food, litter, and other basic supplies to those in need. Some operate dedicated pet pantries, while others offer support through human food banks. Some provide other essential supplies like litter or carriers. If you need help navigating these resources, please contact us, and we’ll do our best to assist or refer you to someone who can.
-
Pet Food Pantries: These programs provide free pet food (and sometimes litter or other supplies) to pet owners experiencing financial hardship. Many are run by shelters, rescues, or animal welfare groups. Some are "pop-up" style and operate less regularly, while others offer regular food and supplies.
-
Human Food Banks with Pet Programs: Some local food banks and community organizations include pet food in their offerings or host special “pet days” to distribute supplies.
If you need help with supplies for an unowned community cat, you can also use Alley Cat Allies' Community Resource Tool to find organizations that may be able to assist.

If adoption is on your mind, fostering can be a meaningful way to start. Not only do you get to know what it’s like to care for a cat, but fostering also lets you learn what kind of personality and temperament best fits your home and lifestyle—all while giving a homeless cat a safe and supportive place to land along the way.
If you're interested in a foster-to-adopt arrangement, please:
-
Visit our Foster page to learn more about fostering with Tiny Cat Animal Rescue.
-
Sign up to foster-to-adopt by filling out our online Foster Form and state in your responses that you would like to foster-to-adopt.
