“Friskies is always looking for new ways to enhance play experiences for cats,” says Alison Coburn, assistant brand manager for Friskies. “We’re asking our Friskies Facebook community to join us in this one-of-a-kind engagement opportunity to help create a space as amazing as the cats that will live there for the next two weeks. They can tune in daily to see how the cats respond to their choices in real-time, and find new inspiration for play with their own cats. And we hope they’ll be inspired to help ensure these cats and many more find forever homes.”

MeoowzResQ helps find permanent homes for hundreds of cats each year, and has many other great adoptables in addition to those in The Playhouse.

For two weeks, the 10 cats will enjoy an amazing space full of feline fun! There is a large built-in aquarium, touch floor to play Friskies® Games for Cats and many unique climbing spaces. Each day “extras,” or new engagement features, will be added to the Playhouse based on input from the Friskies Facebook community. Extras up for vote may include a large climbing tree, tunnel system and bubble machine. Final decisions will depend on Facebook community votes.

Visit the Friskies Facebook page to watch the cats in the Playhouse live from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. EST every day, February 6 through February 19. You can also watch the Friskies YouTube channel for daily highlights and recap videos.

A lot of the fun will happen through The Friskies Facebook community! Not only can you help decide on extras for the cats, but you can also interact with them! The Friskies Plus Play Live gives fans the ability to “play” with real cats in real time. It’s a modified version of iPet Companion, created by AliceVISION™, which says its free app boosts adoptions, donations and sponsorships in pet rescue and adoption shelters worldwide. The Friskies Plus Play Live feature will be active on Friskies Facebook page during the Playhouse daily broadcast from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. EST/noon to 3 p.m. PST daily February 6 through February 19.

Over the course of trying to locate their cat by posting flyers on telephone poles and creating listings on various websites, they noticed there wasn’t a very good online resource for lost and found pets. So, they decided to fix it!

Why we love it:

• The site is 100% free, there are no charges whatsoever unlike other sites out there that have fees for uploading a photo or getting email alerts.
• Maps out lost and found pets in your immediate area, rather than forcing you to scan through hundreds of listings that could be hundreds of miles away and thus not relevant to your search.
• Instant email notifications for new listings in your area
• Users can comment on listings if they have found or have info on a lost pet.

Please help us spread the word about this great service, and let’s hope that we can all make sure lost pets are found again! You can even like them on Facebook!
