Neighborhood Cats has been chosen as the Charity of the Month for November 2011 by Rescue Chocolate, a Brooklyn NY-headquartered chocolatier which was founded in January 2010. 100% of the net profits from each handcrafted, all-natural vegan treats are donated to animal welfare organizations across the country.

The Neighborhood Cats are aiming to encourage humane measures to lower the feral cat population in the country. The particular measure they are taking is called TNR (trap-neuter-return). TNR engages trained volunteers to gather the feral cats that they can find, getting the cats spayed or neutered, and then returning them to their colonies to peacefully live out their lives. Also NY-based, Neighborhood Cats is well-known in the feral field as developers of educational materials including books, videos, and online courses that tackle TNR.

"I’ve lived with dogs all my life and never with cats," said Rescue Chocolate Founder Sarah Gross. "But I’m certainly aware of the problems that cats face on the streets. I’m really honored to be able to be a small part of the solution."

The chocolate company offers an array of kosher and vegan chocolate bars and truffles. Each of the flavors is named after a subject significant in the animal rescue world. The products include Peanut Butter Pit Bull (inspired by Gross' own rescued pit bull, Mocha), Foster-iffic Peppermint, Mission Feral Fig, Pick Me! Pepper, The Fix, Fakin' Bacon, Wild at Heart, and Bow Wow Bon Bons.

However, Gross warns that even though profits eventually help the animals, her chocolate treats are for human consumption alone.

The more treats you purchase, the more you'll be increasing the company's donation. It is absolutely a win-win, indeed, "the sweetest way to save a life!"

These goods are sold in retail outlets across the country and also online. Go visit www.RescueChocolate.com to learn more about Rescue Chocolate or to order treats that will help Neighborhood Cats. For more information on Neighborhood Cats, visit www.NeighborhoodCats.org.
