Hi all,

Does anyone know of a way to sell opened Hills c/d dry cat food? I originally shelled out 50 quid for the bag, but didn't need to use that much.

I'm trying to get rid of as much stuff as possible as I'm leaving the country! :)

Thanks!

    I'd try Ebay and weigh how much you have remaining. Say what the quantity was initially as well as whats left. Let them bid for it. Also be honest if the biscuits are a bit soft etc.

    Gumtree or Facebay?


    Alternatively I'm sure Cats Protection (or other shelter) would appreciate the donation.

    I'd donate it to a rescue centre. Some independent pet shops have donation boxes. I did this at my local IPS as I'd bought a big bag of dog kibbles and my dog had problems chewing it. The pet shop also matched my donation by giving an extra bag :) Had an email from the rescue thanking me, which was lovely :)

    I would say if you don't NEED the money to donate it to a rescue centre.

    I tried to donate my over half a bag of senior kibble to the local animal sanctuary and they wouldn't take it, said to take it up and they would have a look so I gave it to a neighbour.

    Great news, I've found that the smaller independent rescues are happy to take open bags but sometimes the bigger, better known ones won't!

    OP- why don't you "donate" this food to whoever is kind enough to take on the cat you are trying to rehome and for whom that food was for?

    It would be a decent thing to do.
