The Meet & Treat Story
Our family has always loved animals, and over the years, we've taken in and cared for as many as we possibly could. But scrolling through Facebook and reading the constant, daily pleas for help from local rescues and non-profits, the massive scale of the need became impossible to ignore.
The heartbreaking reality is that we can't adopt them all. But we still wanted to do something to help. That's how Meet & Treat was born right here in Catoosa, Oklahoma. Instead of just asking our neighbors to open their wallets, we built a way to turn everyday mobile gaming into a direct funding pipeline. When you play games on our app, the net ad revenue generated goes directly to buying real-world supplies for local shelters. You play, they eat.

How to Play & FAQ
💬 Is this actually free? How does playing a game feed an animal?
Yes, it is 100% free for you. The games are funded by digital advertisements. When you view ads or complete a game, ad revenue is generated. We aggregate that revenue and use it to fund the shelters. Your time is your donation.
💬 What is the difference between Bites and Paws?
"Bites" are the global community metric. Every ad viewed generates Bites, which represent the actual money going to the shelter to buy necessities. "Paws 🐾" are your personal digital points you earn by winning games, which you can choose to "spend" on specific animals to help them hit their ad-revenue milestones!
💬 How do I choose a Mascot?
When you log in, scroll through the "Shelter" tab and find a dog or cat that pulls at your heartstrings. Click "Switch Mascot" on their profile. Now, whenever you play a game in the Arcade, that specific animal will cheer you on, and you can easily donate your earned Paws to their care package goals.
💬 What happens when an animal reaches their Paw goal?
When a shelter pet's Paw meter hits 100%, they get a "Full Belly!" This means they are fully funded for their upcoming needs. When this happens, you get a Champion Badge, and we encourage you to pick a new active Mascot to share the wealth with another underdog!
💬 Are "Paws 🐾" real money?
No. Paws 🐾 are a "Virtual Currency" used exclusively within the platform to track your gameplay success and direct our ad-revenue distributions. They cannot be withdrawn, sold, or traded for real-world fiat currency.
💬 Are these real animals?
Yes! Every animal on the "Shelter" page is a real, adoptable pet currently living in a local shelter or rescue in the Tulsa/Catoosa area. If you fall in love, click their photo to view their official adoption profile!
Financial Transparency & Status
Not a 501(c)(3): Meet & Treat is a for-profit social enterprise platform. We are not a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We operate as a pass-through entity that generates ad revenue and pledges those funds to verified animal rescues.
Tax Deductions: Because you are not spending your own money, and because we are not a 501(c)(3), your gameplay and the ad revenue generated on your behalf are not tax-deductible for the user.
Net Revenue Definition: Ad revenue is distributed based on Net Revenue. This means the funds distributed to shelters are calculated after necessary platform operating costs (such as cloud server hosting, database fees, and ad-network processing fees) have been paid. We only keep what is necessary to keep the servers running.
