Our Story
AniMeals was created when Meals on Wheels volunteers noticed clients sharing their meals with their pets. We started Cedar Rapids AniMeals to make sure pets and their owners both get appropriate nutrition. That helps keep pets in their loving homes and out of shelters. And pets in the home provide valuable service and companionship.
