stray Not only critically acclaimed, but loved by gamers and cat lovers alike.
Thanks to some fan choices, quite a bit of money has been raised to help various shelters and rescues house and treat the homeless cats in their care.
Brendan Gepson of the Humane Society of Nebraska told the PBS News Hour that the shelter sold multiple game codes through its Twitter account. Priced at $5 each, the initial fundraiser raised about $8,000.
Rafael Almeida, a volunteer at the Brazilian shelter Gatos De Francisca, ran a raffle that raised enough money to neuter 25 cats. One streamer was able to raise more than $1,500 for felines in 30 minutes, and Debbie Distanisloa of the Stray Cat Relief Fund and her team raised $6,500 through a 5K walkathon sponsored by Stray’s publisher, Annapurna Interactive.
Good news, that. There are so many homeless pets in the world that deserve your love. Sadly, many of them were unable to escape public shelters. I won’t give you the exact stats as it will break your heart as much as mine does, however, cats are euthanized almost twice as often as dogs in US shelters. Six states have euthanasia rates 50 percent higher than other states, with Texas topping the list.
According to the ASPCA, only 31 percent of cats in the U.S. are obtained from animal shelters or humane societies, and about 27 percent are obtained as stray cats. Did you know that black cats have the fewest number of adoptions? The same goes for dogs.
Sadly, because of this, black cats have one of the highest euthanasia rates and lowest adoption rates in the country. Due to their common coloration, they are often “overlooked” by those with more “different color patterns,” according to the Kentucky Humane Society. However, Psychology Today notes that in some cases, it can be attributed to outdated belief systems, while others include absurd superstitions, an inability to read black cats’ emotions, and the perception by some that they are less ” Friendly and friendly”. more aggressive than another color”.
It’s all nonsense. Black cats rock just as much as cats of any other color. People drive me nuts.
So, adopt a pet or two from your local shelter or rescue, and consider getting a black one. Also, if you happen to come across a real stray or feral cat (not someone’s cat wandering around), please help the poor baby. Contact your local trap neuter and return (TNR) program. This group of volunteers will humanely trap, neuter or spay, vaccinate and ear apex (the universal sign that they have been neutered and vaccinated), and return them outdoors. If the cat is considered adoptable, the program usually does its best to find a foster care, no-kill shelter, rescue, or forever home for the darling to give their little purring heads some rest.
Developed by BlueTwelve Studio, Stray tells the story of a cat who falls into a city full of germs, machines and robots. In order to return home with the help of their drone companions, the duo must do their best to avoid the Zurks and Sentinels who are trying to kill them.
Stray has six nominations at The Game Awards 2022, including Game of the Year and Best Game Direction. Instead, it won Best Indie Game and Best Debut Indie Game. It is currently winning Game of the Year, Adventure Game of the Year, and Outstanding Achievement in Art Direction at the 26th annual DICE Awards.
