I used to take an elderly friend some cat food for her thin cat. I'm sure that she shared her own food with it, because after I started doing this, both of them seemed to gain a little bit of weight.
In some places the Meals on Wheels also takes cat or dog food at the same time to shut-ins. Sometimes the pet is their only living friend, and they of course feed their friends.

Elderly are sometimes better off eating small amounts several times a day rather than 3 reg. meals so this would be a great help for many people.
We had to learn to fix smaller portions for my mom so she wasn't overwhelmed by the amount of food on her plate. What we considered a portion was really two meals for her.

We use to make these all the time for my great grandma. And then when she moved into a nursing home, her daughter, my grandma asked if she could have them. She didn't like cooking much after my grandpa died. So we saved them for her. Then she passed away my senior year of high school. So then my mom still made the frozen dinners and sent them with me once I started college. It was so nice every time I came home to have a big batch of food to take back with me. She then did this for my brother and now for my sister. It is amazing how all the little leftovers add up.
