Avia (also known as Aviagames), the team behind popular skill games like Solitaire Clash and Bingo Tour, marked its 9th anniversary with more than just a celebration of milestones in mobile entertainment. Through its Avia Play For Paws Charity initiative, the company partnered with the Nevada SPCA to turn gameplay into meaningful support for animal rescue. Inspired by its own rescue cats, Tangtang and Jiabao, Avia is showcasing how gaming communities can unite for a cause that extends far beyond the screen, helping pets in need find care, hope, and new homes.
What Inspired Avia: Tangtang and Jiabao’s Story
The Avia Play for Paws Charity was born from CEO and Founder Vickie Chen’s lifelong love for animals and a personal encounter with a stray cat named Bebes during the pandemic. Though Bebes eventually disappeared before receiving needed care, the experience left Chen with a profound lesson—that being seen, trusted, and cared for can change everything for an animal.
Carrying that lesson forward, Chen encouraged Avia to welcome two rescue cats, Tangtang and Jiabao, into the office. Both overcame difficult beginnings—Tangtang lost an eye as a kitten, while Jiabao battled severe stomatitis, and now thrive as beloved companions. Their presence serves as a daily reminder of resilience, healing, and hope, inspiring Avia’s Play for Paws partnership with the Nevada SPCA to turn the joy of mobile gaming into real-world support for animals in need.
Who is the Nevada SPCA
The Nevada SPCA, founded in 1982, is Southern Nevada’s original no-kill animal rescue shelter. As an independent nonprofit, it relies on local support rather than government funding or national affiliations. Each year, it cares for over 2,000 animals, from dogs and cats to rabbits and small mammals, providing medical care and helping them find loving homes. Beyond sheltering, Nevada SPCA runs community programs like a Pet Pantry, which offers free food and basic vet assistance to struggling pet owners. With a 99% live-release rate, it stands as a trusted leader in animal welfare across the region.
How the Campaign Works
The Play for Paws campaign, launched by Avia in celebration of its 9th anniversary starting August 24, 2025, invites players to play Solitaire Clash and Bingo Tour to complete in-game tasks that earn “Dry Food” to feed shelter animals. Each feeding triggers a donation of $0.05 to the Nevada SPCA. Real rescue animals are featured in the game, and players can view details about each one, sharing their stories on social media to boost adoption awareness. Those who register a Solitaire Clash or Bingo Tour account before July 24, 2025, can enjoy the full three-week event, while others may have limited access depending on their account’s registration date.
Participants also contribute to a leaderboard, where each feeding earns them event points. By the end of the event on September 13, 2025, the top 200 players will receive an exclusive animal-themed avatar frame and a digital SPCA donation certificate. The top 10 players will earn additional SPCA-themed memorabilia. Winners will be notified once the event concludes and must submit contact information to claim their rewards. Digital certificates are emailed, while physical items require shipping details within a week of notification.
Turning Play Into Impact
Through Play for Paws, Avia and the Nevada SPCA are proving that gaming can make a real difference for animals in need. Every mission completed and every “feeding” shared helps shelter pets receive care, support, and a chance at a loving home. Inspired by their own rescue cats, Tangtang and Jiabao, the Avia team continues to turn the joy of play into meaningful impact—showing that even small actions can create big change for animals and communities alike.
