We launched "Forever Home Heroes" in 2019 as a way to continue supporting cat welfare advocates with our words and wallets. Ever year since, we have donated thousands of dollars towards helping kitties around the world! This year, we are donating $5,000 across six deserving cat organizations or individuals, based on public voting. 

We loved watching the votes roll in & all the love being shared on social media - you really made a difference, spreading awareness about your favorite organization & the need for fostering/TNR. Thanks furiends!
