New to Chicago and Illinois, Poncho delivers personalized weather forecasts based on habits and lifestyle. Ever leave the house in brand new shoes only to see everyone in rainboots on the train? Answer questions like what time you wake up, how you commute, whether you have pollen allergies, and whether your hair susceptible to frizz, and Poncho the cat will tell you how to plan for the day ahead.

For its first month in Illinois, Poncho will donate $1 per subscriber to PAWS Chicago to help end the unnecessary killing of homeless pets. Margot Boyer-Dry, Head of Marketing at Poncho shares, "Poncho cares deeply about animal welfare, and we're pleased to be supporting an organization that addresses this issue so responsibly. PAWS Chicago does it right."

The Poncho is free, and by signing up, you'll be supporting the wonderful team and animals at PAWS Chicago.
