Yesterday something quite extraordinary happened, a bright spot in Japan animal relief efforts. Mimi Ausland and FreeKibble/FreeKibbleKat.com raised 1.45 million pieces of kibble for animal victims of the Japanese earthquake and tsunami. Halo Pets matched it, for a total of 2.9 million pieces of kibble.

It was FreeKibble’s biggest donation day on record, and all of you who took the 15 seconds necessary to go to the site and answer the daily trivia question to donate ten pieces of kibble are the reason this drive was so successful. Thank you, thank Mimi, and thank Halo Pets.
