Game-Based Pet Adoption Events

Fresh Step Launches a New Event to Connect Cats with Families

— November 3, 2022 — Lifestyle
Fresh Step, the premium litter brand focused on supporting the well-being of cats and their people, is launching the first-of-its-kind game-based adoption event aiming to unite more cats with a forever family. As part of National Animal Shelter Appreciation Week and in partnership with Best Friends Animal Society (BFAS), Fresh Step will enlist cat-loving gaming influencers to launch live game streams of the popular cat adventure game Stray. While playing, they will also drum up support and drive adoptions for cats living in shelters. The Fresh Step Adopt a Stray events will take place on Wednesday, November 9 on Twitch and YouTube on partner platforms.

To help advocate for the 3.4 million cats who enter animal shelters nationwide each year1, Fresh Step has created exact replicas of real cats who are currently up for adoption at BFAS shelters. During the Adopt a Stray events, notable gaming influencers will use the adoptable cat avatars while playing Stray and will share information about the cats that can be adopted. Viewers and participants will be able to use the chat function on Twitch and YouTube to see real photos of the cats and learn more about them, as well as fill out adoption forms to welcome one of these furry friends home.
