Fulfilled [Request] Cincinnati, OH, USA

15 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I'm struggling right now, after being laid off back in August. I'm kind of desperately in need of catfood and litter for my three kitties. I've got the help of a great local food pantry for myself, but they don't have anything for animals. I've got a four yr old with digestion issues, a 13 yr old with digestion issues, and a 4 yr old who will eat anything, so they all eat Purina One Sensitive Skin & Stomach dry food, and they usually use Tidy Cat litter. I've been using the lightweight because I have a frozen shoulder and it's easier when it comes time to lift the litter box and clean it out.

It's been tough year. I didn't think I would be out of a job for *this* long or that things would ever get this tight. If anyone is able to help me out, I promise I will make sure I pay it forward asap. Thank you. I can't express how grateful I am for places like this on Reddit. I'll post some pics of my furry ones so you can see how cute they are :-). I think I did the link right but not 100% on that...

I work full time, so it hurts my pride to have to ask for help, but I'm doing this alone and I can't stand the thought of failing my goodest girl. Below is an Amazon wishlist link--I tried to find the best combination of price, quantity and quality that won't tear her stomach up. Thank you for looking, and since I can't seem to publish a photo with my post, I'll put one in the first comment.

[Richmond VA]

I am in desperate need of kitty litter for my four cats. I get paid today, but, unfortunately, my check is 1/5 of what it normally is because of federal jury duty commitment. Thank goodness my hours are back to normal.

I just bought them food, but my check is way less than what I thought it would be.

Fulfilled [Request] Black Hills, SD. Looking for Puppy food

13 Upvotes

Louie Jr. is orphaned. My dog, Josie, fell in love with a pure chihuahua next door. Everything was fine and we all were happy, she got pregnant and joyful. Winter came and there was a natural gas leak, which took a toll on her during labor. Josie passed next day after Jr was born. He was fully fed in mother’s milk for 24hs. Jr is healthy. I took care of Louie as orphaned newborn by the book: kept him warm all the time, newborn puppy formula in newborn puppy bottles, hygiene, weight scale, and teaching eliminate. I am blessed to own my work schedule, so I could be at home every 4hs. But my business was robbed, and I went to zero income, temporarily. Soon I will be back on my feet, But Louie needs dog food asap. The love of my life can eat any human food, but he needs the balanced dog chow. His preferred brand lasts longer, and its high quality. Its same brand his mother was raised, and will do whatever to feed him with the best dog food, and occasional stakes.

Hello, I'm hoping for a hand at getting my dog's their food. Things have been really hard for awhile, we have slowly dug ourselves out of a hole since the pandemic and losing well, just short of everything. If it wasnt for my dogs sometimes... man, itd be so much harder. I work door dash and the brakes went out on my 2011 focus- so I'm trying go gather up money for that. But I also really need my pups food. Could anyone possibly help? I appreciate it so much. 🙏

I have a 1.5 yr old German shepherd named Dylan, and tiny 6lb, 10 year old Chihuahua named Noodle. We have 2 kitties too, but I think I can manage with what we have already for those guys.

Do not send unsolicited private messages. Sending PMs to circumvent requirements will also result in a permanent ban.

We also reserve the right at moderators' discretion to disallow anyone that appears to abuse the generosity of others. If your account history shows that a majority of your Reddit participation is in gifting and material support subs, you may be banned. If your account shows it's nuked, or wiped clean, you cannot request.

To fulfill requests, make offers, giveaways or contests

  • There are no requirements, however as the Automod removes submissions without regards to content, please modmail us to let us know if your account doesn't meet the 90 days/500 Comment Karma threshold. We will not be able to accommodate all requests for giving if your account is not eligible.

Rules

You must read and understand these rules before posting or your post may be removed. Some of these rules if broken may result in a temporary or permanent ban, so make sure you understand them! Exceptions will not be made.

  1. Meet the account requirements. 90 days old AND 500 Comment Karma (not Link or Award or Combined Karma) with regular and productive activity.
  2. Do not cheat while acquiring karma. Participation in any of the karma farming subs, asking for karma in other subs, or complaining about your lack of karma in hopes of upvotes will be considered as circumventing the requirement.
  3. Do not use multiple accounts. If you have multiple accounts, always use the same account. Make sure nobody else in your household is also making requests, as that would also count as multiple accounts.
  4. Do not delete your posts or comments for any reason in giving type subs.
  5. No monetary requests. No forms of money transfers, loans, gift cards, crowd funding or linking sites that ask for monetary donations.
  6. No trades or reimbursements. No swaps, bartering, shipping, postage, reimbursements or compensation of any kind allowed. All gifting should have no strings attached.
  7. No requests for votes, views or shares. This includes contests and crowdfunding sites.
  8. Do not request items with the intent to gift, trade, or sell them. This will result in a permanent ban.
  9. No Flaming, insults, derogatory comments or otherwise rude behavior. If you see a post that is inflammatory please use report function or modmail us a link to notify a mod.
  10. Wait six months between requests. Heavily taking advantage of the community will lead to post removal and a possible ban.
  11. Do not PM givers until asked to. Unsolicited PMs will result in a ban. Please comment on offers first.
  12. Do not hijack other requests.
  13. No Shelter Requests. This includes not only shelters, but also animal sanctuaries and commercial entities (such as breeders) and most importantly, animal hoarding situations.. Please post those requests on r/Charity.
  14. Necessities only. Lists must be under $150 and not contain non-necessities such as toys, bowls, etc. Don't add items after post approval!

We participate in the Reddit /r/UniversalScammerList. Your bans may be linked to the list and shared with all other participating subreddts.

How to make a Request

  • Make sure your request post has a title that starts with: [Request]. Please note, square brackets [], not parentheses () and not the curly brackets {} either.
  • Include your city, state/province and country if not USA.
    Example: [Request] NYC, NY - Looking for crickets for my lizards.
  • Include some text in your post letting us know what kind of specifics for this. Also, include a wishlist with ONLY the item(s) you're requesting. This can be from Amazon or or other site of your choosing that allows direct purchase from wish lists. This will allow items to be sent to you without necessarily giving your address away.
  • And please share a photo of your pet(s)! We want to see those fuzzy, feathered, furry, scaley, finny, family members of yours!

How to make an Offer/Contest/Giveaway

  • Make sure your offer post has a title that starts with: [Offer]. Please note, square brackets [], not parentheses () and not the curly brackets {} either.
  • If you are restricting your offer to a specific geographic area, please include that in your title.
    Example: [Offer] NYC, NY - I have an extra 20lb bag of dog food my dog won't eat.
  • Include some text to describe your offer and details about getting it to someone.
  • DO NOT ALLOW PEOPLE TO PRIVATE MESSAGE YOU FIRST. This allows the Automoderator to screen out people who don't meet account requirements, allows the human mods to vet requestors, and prevents people from contacting you with a similar but different account. Example: ReallyCoolDragons vs ReaIIyCooIDragons

How to fulfill someone's Request

  • Leave a comment on their post. Provide an tracking/order number, if you're fulfilling a wish list item or shipping something of your own.

How to take up someone's Offer/Contest/Giveaway

  • Leave a comment on their post to let them know you're interested. DO NOT PM THEM FIRST
  • Once the person making the offer responds, THEN you can work out details in private.

If we receive a complaint that an unsolicited private message was made to take up an offer, the offender will be banned.

Other things to remember

  • Stay safe. Only give personal information such as address away in PM. If you are a minor, we recommend not giving out your address.
  • Use the search function. Many requests and offers have been made. People may still be willing to offer kindness even if their post is old. Please respect offers that are flaired as closed.
  • Make sure your post is clear. Vague posts let less attention and may be removed until you clarify what you are asking for.
  • Keep your post updated. Make sure you update the post so others know if your request was fulfilled or the offer was given away.
  • Don't use link shorteners. Shortened links like Amazon's A.CO get removed by Reddit's site-wide spam filter. Please share the full link! To get that link, click the a.co link yourself and then copy the full URL from that page.
  • Remember to thank the giver. They love to know that an item was received and it is always nice to thank the person who sent you something.
  • Try to give as good as you get. Balance the number of REQUESTs you make with an equal number of OFFERs. Members will respect you more and won't think you're taking advantage of them.
  • Always pay it forward! Continue the cycle of kindness by passing on the kindness offered to you in any way you can.

Methods of Buying Pet Food

  • Amazon Wish List (Create Wishlist) People can then find your wish list using your email and purchase items for you. When searching for items to add to your wishlist, consider checking the settings along the left hand side to choose "Free Super Saver Shipping" or "Prime Eligible," whichever appears. This eliminates third party sellers who often have expensive shipping costs. Third-party sellers often display good prices but have shipping costs that make them more expensive than the options sold directly by Amazon.com.
  • Walmart: Wishlist features available.
  • This area needs updated. Too many people are asking for gift cards and either not using them, or trying to sell them.

9 Upvotes

In a tight spot financially but able to grind and scrape by mostly (Paying for two different households currently due to moving, struggling to make enough $ for rent at one. We are moving from a bigger city to a smaller city) However the one thing I'm worried I will not be able to afford is my dogs dasuquin. She is only 4 but I like keeping her on it because she often favors her left back leg, especially with outside time and also we have no carpet (at either house), although she has different dog beds she always seems to lay on the ground but that too causes her to limp a bit when she first gets up and has to walk it off. So we started her on dasuquin earlier this year and I can tell some improvement! Id really hate for her to go without it until we can get our finances in order. 1 bag should last over two months. Someone mentioned to me about this subreddit so figured I'd give it a shot. Thank you 🙏

Hi all!

I would love some help for my cat. She is in need of some food and litter. I had Covid in the past month and missed a few unpaid days of work, so I’ve found myself managing to only pay off bills and then finding that I needed stuff for my girl. I was not expecting to catch covid haha. Usually I can pay everything and have enough for other things but not this past month apparently.

Here is my list: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2504OTQHXZFO?ref_=wl_share

I just learned about this group not too long ago and I’m so glad I did. We’ve hit a few rough patches over the last 9/10 months and are now out of dog food. I would so appreciate anything on the list, but mostly the dog food. I did add some bones as my dogs love them and haven’t had one in awhile. I wish I would have noticed that we were out earlier, but unfortunately I did not.
