Blizzard to sell Cinder Kitten virtual pet to help the Red Cross’s Superstorm Sandy Response relief efforts

Based on the photos we’ve come across so far, Sandy has left quite a path of destruction and if you’d like to help out, Blizzard has announced that they will be selling a Cinder Kitten in their Blizzard store for $10, where 100% of the proceeds will be going towards the Red Cross’s Superstorm Sandy Response relief efforts. For those wondering, the Cinder Kitten will be a pet that gamers in the World of Warcraft MMORPG will be able to “adopt”. According to Blizzard:

“Support the Red Cross’s Superstorm Sandy Response relief efforts and adopt a Cinder Kitten when this fiery feline arrives in the Blizzard Store later this year. Your support will enable the Red Cross to provide shelter, food, emotional support, and other assistance to survivors of disasters like Superstorm Sandy with 100% of the $10 USD adoption fee during this charity drive going toward this worthy cause.”

Sounds like a fair deal, especially if you play World of Warcraft. More information on World of Warcraft pets can be found on Blizzard’s Pet FAQ page.
