Purina has partnered with Susan G. Koman for the Cure for the Purina Cat Chow Connected for the Cause campaign.

Purina, the company that makes Cat Chow cat food plans to donate more than $200,000 to Susan G. Koman for the Cure to help raise awareness about breast cancer. The Purina Cat Chow Connected for the Cause campaign also wants to highlight the companionship and support cats give to women survivors of breast cancer.

In a recent national survey of women survivors of breast cancer conducted by Purina Cat Chow, it was found that 84% of women felt their cats had a calming effect on them during their breast cancer recovery. Additionally, 76% of respondents said they received daily support from their cats during breast cancer treatment.

Finally Purina encourages women to put photos of themselves and their cats up on their website. For each photo uploaded to the site, Purina will donate $1 to Susan G. Koman for the Cure up to $10,000.
