The Stars Align for Cat Lovers; Purina and PetSmart Team Up to Help Consumers 'Save a Fortune'

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Trying to read the mind of a finicky cat is frustrating, especially when it comes to food preferences. To help consumers save time and money on purchasing quality products cats want, Purina and PetSmart are teaming up to launch the "Save a Fortune" promotion.

For the Save a Fortune promotional event, now through October 1, 2017, when shoppers spend $40 on participating Purina cat products, including Friskies cat food, at PetSmart stores nationwide, they will receive a $10 PetSmart gift card after submitting a photo of the receipt via PurinaFortunes.com. As part of this compelling cat product promotion, the brands will call on the all-powerful clairvoyant cat, Madame Fortuna, who will peer into the future to get a better reading on your cat's needs and wants, while revealing additional great savings on Purina products at PetSmart stores in the immediate future.

"We are excited to partner with PetSmart on such a significant, multi-faceted promotion that offers deals on a variety of Purina products ranging from Friskies cat food to cat litter," said Andrew Goldberg, Retail & Shopper Marketing Manager for Purina. "Through the 'Save a Fortune' event, consumers can take advantage of a $10 PetSmart gift card offer as well as coupons, prizes and sweepstakes available in a variety of engaging ways at PurinaFortunes.com and a unique cat fortune-telling event in a PetSmart store in L.A."

"Save a Fortune" Event in Los Angeles, CA
To bring the "Save a Fortune" promotion to life, Friskies is bringing together some of America's favorite celebrity cats, Nala Cat, Waffles, White Coffee and Luna Rose, for a consumer meet-and-greet where Madame Fortuna will provide fortune readings and determine if your cats' stars are aligned with these famous felines.

This fortune-telling themed event will be in-store at PetSmart, 330 S La Cienega Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90048, from 12:00-2:00 p.m. PDT on Tuesday, September 26. The event is free for all fans and pet parents are encouraged to bring their feline furry family members.

When guests enter the store, they will have a chance to take "Madame Fortuna's" questionnaire to determine which celebrity cat's fortune aligns with their kitty's future. Once the fortune is revealed, guests will get to take a photo with that celebrity cat ? Nala Cat, Luna Rose, White Coffee or Waffles. After, they will have a chance to meet with a real fortune teller to receive their personal fortune, along with a tarot card takeaway.

For even more savings, cat owners can earn coupons and prizes by participating in Tarot Card Savings and the Crystal Ball Game at PurinaFortunes.com. Consumers also have the opportunity to enter the "Win a Fortune" Sweepstakes now through October 15 where the grand prize winner takes home a custom cat condo designed to resemble a fortune telling machine. Visit PurinaFortunes.com to take advantage of great deals on premium Purina products at PetSmart and discover a bright future for your cat.
