The team behind the brand-new cat game Stray is helping stray cats in real life. Publisher Annapurna Interactive has teamed up with humane societies and cat shelters in the US and UK and is helping them raise money by offering free copies of Stray for PS4, PS5, and PC.
If you don't know yet, Stray is a beautiful and adorable new game about a cat who has lost its way in a world full of robots. You play as that cat and can do tons of typical cat things, like knocking stuff off of ledges, scratching on furniture, sleeping on top of robots' chests, and meowing as loud as you'd like.
It's garnered rave reviews from gaming sites like GamesRadar and PCGamer, and is widely considered purrfect by gamers and cat lovers alike.

At the time of publication, the drawing for the NHS giveaway has closed, but you're still welcome to (and should) donate to help stray cats.
The cat in Stray is based on a cat named Murtaugh, who belongs to people who work for the developer BlueTwelve Studios. The team behind Stray is clearly full of cat lovers, as the cat is incredibly realistic and impossibly adorable.
We love to see support for cat rescues, especially from the video game community.
