EWING, N.J., Nov. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The ARM & HAMMER™ Cat Litter  Feline Generous program kicked off its “Personality Pics” social media sweepstakes, aimed at helping shelter cats find loving homes. This campaign spotlights shelter cats often overlooked for adoption due to age, appearance, or misunderstood personalities by giving them an AI-generated portrait to better showcase their unique traits. Starting today through December 10, 2024, cat lovers are invited to follow @armandhammercat on Instagram, Facebook or TikTok and nominate a cat shelter for a chance to win. Three winning shelters will receive $10,000 each, an AI-generated portrait for up to 10 cats, and the nominating cat lover will win a year’s supply of ARM & HAMMER™ Cat Litter.

ARM & HAMMER™ Cat Litter launches sweeps offering cat shelters $30K & AI pics. Follow @armandhammercat + enter by 12/10!

Many cats struggle to find homes because their personalities don’t shine through in standard adoption photos, especially when they’re stressed in unfamiliar shelter environments. Creating engaging profiles can also be time-consuming and costly for shelters. However, a recent survey of 1,260 respondents by TINT and ARM & HAMMER™ Kitty Krew revealed that Gen Z and Millennials are most likely to adopt when they see photos and videos that capture a cat’s behavior, along with a detailed personality bio.

To bridge this gap, ARM & HAMMER™ Cat Litter, in collaboration with creative agency Razorfish, developed an AI tool to easily create engaging cat portraits that capture people’s attention and hearts while scrolling. After inputting basic information about a cat and uploading a photo, the tool generates an AI Personality Pic that brings the true nature of the cat to life, helping potential adopters connect with them instantly.

“A lot of shelters can’t afford the resources to create captivating adoption profiles,” said Pam Johnson-Bennett, Certified Cat Behavior Consultant. “Using ARM & HAMMER AI Personality Pics provides an opportunity for cats, especially those harder to adopt, to shine. By highlighting their individual traits or special needs, these profiles help create deeper, lasting connections with potential adopters, giving these deserving cats a better chance at finding a loving home.”

In June, ARM & HAMMER™ Cat Litter partnered with the ASPCA® for Adopt a Shelter Cat Month to debut its Personality Pics AI tool during several virtual adoption events to raise awareness and drive adoptions. This initiative not only helped raise $200,000 for the ASPCA in just 72 hours through a matching donation campaign, but also led to several adoptions.

“Building on our success with the ASPCA, the social media sweepstakes aims to use generative AI to create playful, captivating portraits that enhance connections between adopters and cats to ultimately increase adoption rates,” said Carly Catalano, Associate Director of ARM & HAMMER™ Pet Care. “The goal of the ARM & HAMMER Cat Litter Feline Generous program is to help shelters find loving homes for all cats, especially those that need an extra spotlight. We’re thrilled to offer shelters a tool to make their adoption profiles less time-consuming and more engaging, so more cats find loving homes.”

The ARM & HAMMER™ Feline Generous program easily connects people to a network of local cat shelters across the country to help increase adoption and generate product and monetary donations, with a specific focus on cats who tend to be overlooked due to age, appearance or misunderstood personalities.

HUSK Launches All-in-One Ecosystem, Uniting Healthy Living and Clinical Care in a Single Platform

Published

New offering connects health plan-covered nutrition and mental health care with a personalized engagement journey — giving employers a way to measure whether wellness spend is reducing healthcare costs

WAYNE, Pa., Nov. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — In both self-funded and fully insured health plans, most employees already have access to registered dietitians and licensed therapists, yet much of that care goes unused. Today, HUSK, a preventative wellness technology company serving self-funded and fully insured employers and health insurers, announced the launch of its all-in-one wellness ecosystem, HUSK Wellness. The all-in-one ecosystem brings healthy living programs and clinical care together in a single personalized experience, with outcomes reporting employers can act on.

For three decades, HUSK has helped employers engage their workforces in wellness. In that time, it has seen the same gap again and again. Benefits are spread across separate vendors, covered care goes unused, and employers have no reliable way to connect wellness spend to outcomes. HUSK Wellness closes that gap by building each employee a personalized journey across five benefits: Challenge, Rewards, Marketplace, Nutrition and Mental Health. Each journey is shaped by employer goals and driven by employee choice.

“Employers have spent years buying wellness one vendor at a time, and the result is benefits that sit unused and no clear line to healthcare costs,” said Erin Markowski, President and CEO of HUSK. “The clinical care is already covered by the health plan, whether an employer is fully insured or self-funded. Our job is to connect it to the healthy habits people enjoy, so employees actually use it and employers can finally see whether their wellness investment is reducing healthcare spend.” — Erin Markowski, President & CEO of HUSK

The HUSK Wellness journey begins with onboarding led by Poppie, HUSK’s wellness assistant. Poppie learns each employee’s goals, interests and preferences, then builds a personalized path across all five benefits. Because everything lives in one connected ecosystem, employees spend less time searching and more time engaging. Employers can see utilization, ROI, and how participation relates to high-cost utilization such as ER visits and chronic condition spend.

“Most wellness platforms are built to nudge people into engagement. We built ours around choice,” said Samantha Chase, Head of Product at HUSK. “Employees tell Poppie what they care about, and the platform builds a journey around that. People stick with what they chose for themselves.” — Samantha Chase, Head of Product at HUSK

HUSK Wellness is available now to employers and health insurance partners. Employers can request a walkthrough at https://huskwellness.com/.

About HUSK Wellness

HUSK Wellness is a preventative wellness technology company serving employer clients and health insurers. Operating under parent company Volaris, HUSK combines engagement solutions (Rewards, Challenge, and Marketplace) with clinical care delivered by Registered Dietitians and Mental Health Therapists.

Dataships measures how marketing consent performs across channels, markets, and collection points and provides benchmarks, so brands understand the impact marketing consent has on their business, including audience growth, incremental revenue, and overall compliance posture.
