H3 Essentials, a family-owned pet supplement company, partnered with Chris Poole, Cole and Marmalade‘s human, to create a new line of cat treats designed to bring awareness to Big Cat Rescue, a sanctuary in Florida that is home to big cats who have been abused, abandoned or orphaned.
These single ingredient treats are available in rabbit, minnows, ahi tuna and chicken. They’re all-natural, grain and gluten-free and 100 percent made in the USA.
The story behind the treats
The idea for the “Little Cats Helping Big Cats” campaign was inspired by the 12-year-old son of co-creator Steve Watters, during a recent family trip to Big Cat Rescue, when the son asked his dad what they could do to directly help the exotic cats at the sanctuary.
“We wanted to do something bigger than just make a donation. We wanted to help other cat lovers make a difference too,” explained Watters. “People lead busy lives and it can be hard to set aside time to give back. By developing this new line of cat treats, we are making it easy for people to help these beautiful exotic cats.”
Allegra and Ruby review the treats
We were sent a sample of the chicken treats, so why don’t I let Allegra and Ruby share their thoughts about them.
Ruby: Allegra, look! Mom has a new bag of treats for us!
Allegra: I wonder whether I will like them?
Ruby: Allegra, you’re so picky when it comes to treats. They’re treats! What’s not to like?
After I put the treats down, both of the girls immediately went to sniff them. Predictably, Allegra walked away after a brief sniff. She’s not much of a treat girl, unless it’s human food. She does love cheese and yogurt. Ruby, on the other hand, started to eat the treats right away.
Ruby: OMC, Allegra, these are so good!
Allegra: Meh. I just don’t get what the fuss about treats is all about. I hardly ever eat treats.
Ruby: That’s because you’re boring. Me, I’m a wild cat! I’m a BIG cat! That’s why I love these Big Cat treats!
Allegra: rolls eyes.
Ruby: Here me roar! Mom, listen! I’m roaring like a big cat! Can I have some more treats please? ROAR!!!
I love these treats because they’re everything I think a healthy treat should be: single ingredient, meat only, and made in the USA. And, as an extra bonus, a portion of all proceeds goes to help cats.
The treats retail for $7.99 a bag and are available only from H3 Essentials.
