If you're like many Facebook users, you've gained a lot from your time there: you've learned which Teletubby you most closely resemble and who among your friends is also a fan of Frogger. But just think... Now you can help others gain something important, namely a second chance for shelter cats around the country.

Save a Cat

Save a Cat is DogTime's brand-new Facebook application--and the only one leveraging social media to help real cats in need of homes. The way it works is simple. Once you install the Save a Cat application, you earn points by simply selecting one of the actions presented (for example, "foster a cat" or "scratch your cat's ears").

For every 2500 points you earn, Dogtime donates the financial equivalent of a cup of food to RescueGroups.org. Here's the great part: It's free to use. The only thing you spend is a moment of your time. And yep, you're helping to save real cats.

Rescue is in DogTime's bones

DogTime's mission has always been about helping dogs, specifically keeping them happy, well-behaved, and in good homes by providing straightforward information to the humans who love them. And in June of '09, we launched Save a Dog. Now, we've taken the effort a step further by adding cats to our repertoire of animal rescues.
