I know, that's probably a really stupid question, lol. However, I keep getting baby formula in the mail(I guess I must have signed up for something in the past). I don't want to waste it so I figured I'd see if it can be given to cats as a little treat.

If not, I'll just give it away on Craiglist. I don't want to throw it out.

Probably best not to, it would have to be fortified for human baby use and that might not settle well on a cat's stomach.

Are there any local churches that need food donations? That might be the best place to take it.

In general, cats are lactose intolerant. I would simply Freecycle it or post it on Craig's list - or if you have a homeless shelter or Salvation Army in your area, I'm sure they'd appreciate the donation.

Thanks! I figured they probably couldn't have it, but knew it didn't hurt to ask.


I'll just post it on CL. I don't know of any shelters nearby.
