fundraiser for alley cat allies! get something cute and help cats at the same time!

Help Alley Cat Allies and get something cute for yourself or as a gift for someone else at the same time! I have chosen Alley Cat Allies after learning more about them and in honor of National Feral Cat Day. Plus, I want to do something to directly benefit kitties! This offer is good at my online shops on Etsy and DaWanda. Images throughout this blog post are examples of things you can buy made by me to help kitties!


I will be donating 10% of proceeds from cards, printables and collage sheets and 20% of proceeds from prints and original art to Alley Cat Allies. This benefit runs from October 17-November 30. Please note that the percentage donated is proceeds, not profits: I am not deducting the cost of my supplies, shop commissions/fees, or PayPal fees from the money I'll be donating. For example, if you purchase a $3 note card, .30 will go to Alley Cat Allies. If you purchase a $7 print, $1.40 will go to ACA.



This offer is good at my online shops on Etsy and DaWanda. You do have to be registered on Etsy to buy there. However, if you see something in my DaWanda shop you'd like to buy, you do not have to be a member of DaWanda. You can send me a message with the item you'd like to buy and pay me directly through PayPal. I will mark the item as sold so DaWanda gets their commission. DaWanda prices are in Euros, but I will convert them to dollars for you if you need (1 Euro is approximately $1.35 at today's exchange rate). Please message me with any questions!

If you do not have a PayPal account, you can still use this service with your credit card. PayPal is fast and secure; for more info please see the PayPal site.

When the benefit ends, I will post the total raised and verification that the money is going to Alley Cat Allies.

Thanks so much for helping me help cats!
