Celebrate Internet Cat Videos and America’s Favorite Felines with Animal Outreach and Friskies

Animal Outreach is well into the second year of our partnership with Friskies cat food, and because of your support, we’re already seeing great success! As one of the 20 selected partner organizations, we have earned 7,000 cans of Friskies cat food to date for our commitment to cats in our community along with our participation in this year’s “The Friskies,” the major award for the best new Internet cat videos of 2013.

With your help, Animal Outreach can earn even more cans of cat food by voting for your favorite Internet cat videos at www.TheFriskies.com. “The Friskies” judges have narrowed down thousands of entries to reach 20 Semi-Finalists, and now it is entirely up to the public to vote for the top 12 finalists who will meet in New York City for the opportunity to win $5,000 and the golden Catuette trophies. Voting begins August 7, 2013 and ends on September 16, 2013.

“In America, the vote is always in the hands of the people,” said comedian, cat owner and “The Friskies” host Michael Ian Black. “Take advantage of that right and vote for your favorite Internet cat videos at www.TheFriskies.com! It’s time to give back to those cats and their owners who create the videos that get you through work, public transportation and family parties.”

Join us in helping our cats in need! Encourage your friends and family to become involved as well. After all, who doesn’t love a good cat video? There are five Semi-Finalists in each of the four categories, including a “Rescue Cat” category. Visit www.TheFriskies.com for more information.
