YOU MESSED WITH THE WRONG RESCUE: “Cruelty for Cash” cat abuser sentenced to 15 years

Henrico County, Virginia - Something didn’t feel right to the people who had spent years rescuing cats. One man was adopting under different names. Cats were suddenly appearing online badly injured. Their supposed illnesses came with heartbreaking videos, pleas for help and links asking strangers to donate money.

Then the rescues started talking to each other.

Now Rodney Travis Jr., 27, has been sentenced to 15 years in prison after pleading guilty to six felony animal-cruelty counts, one misdemeanor animal-cruelty count and three felony computer-fraud counts in a case prosecutors say involved the torture of at least 26 cats and more than $400,000 in fraudulent online donations.

Prosecutors say Travis rented hotel rooms in Henrico County where cats were recorded in various levels of distress, then posted the videos to Instagram, YouTube and TikTok while claiming the animals had cancer or other serious illnesses. Investigators said one gray tabby named Hayden appeared in videos bleeding from his mouth and nose while posts claimed he had only a certain number of days left to live. Two pinned posts showed what investigators described as a fraudulent veterinary bill totaling $35,892.14.

But prosecutors say the cats were not dying from cancer. They say they were being abused. According to prosecutors, most of the cats were drugged before being beaten. Two deaths were confirmed and another 18 cats are presumed dead. Six cats were taken from Travis’ Chesterfield home when police executed a search warrant on Feb 13, 2026. Five survived. One, Vivi, died while being rushed to an emergency veterinary center after suffering a crushed skull.

Investigators say the case deepened after they searched one of the Henrico hotel rooms Travis had used. They found cat blood and hair. That helped lead them to his apartment, where authorities say they found blood-covered cat beds, a dozen electronic devices connected to the fraud, a whiteboard spelling out details of the scheme, and a leather book containing cat blood and fur.

Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Dylan McCauley said one of the most disturbing cases involved a cat named Nara. Prosecutors believe Travis crushed her skull by stomping on her head, then placed her body in a garbage bag, a dumpster and eventually a landfill. McCauley also described video evidence in which Travis could allegedly be heard laughing in the face of an injured cat. McCauley called the conduct “systematic” and “sadistic,” saying prosecutors believed it was done not only for money, but also for amusement.

And then there were the rescues. Cat’s Cradle says Travis used aliases and disguises to adopt cats, including the name Morgan Maxwell. When he demanded another cat, rescuers became suspicious. They told him the cat needed a vaccine, got her back into their custody and refused to return her. Pam Hall of Cat’s Cradle says she confronted him. “We know what you’re going to do. You mess with the wrong rescue, and I will get you.” She says Travis laughed and told her she would not. “And we did.”

Cat’s Cradle alerted other rescues. Richardsons Rescue then realized it had also adopted a cat to Travis under a different name. Katherine Drummond of Richardsons Rescue put it this way: “He doesn’t know Richmond cat people. We’re a different breed. Richmond people don’t mess around with their cats. We were gonna get this guy.”

Prosecutors say the warnings did not stop in Virginia. Tips came from as far away as France and the United Kingdom, as well as Arizona, California and Florida. McCauley said once the information reached authorities, Travis was in custody within about 24 hours.

One of the cats rescued from Travis’ apartment survived several fractures and was later adopted by Drummond. She renamed him Sisu, a Finnish word associated with resilience and tenacity. Today, she says he is doing well. “He didn’t get him.”

On Sep 23, 2026, Henrico County Circuit Judge Linda Lambert accepted a plea agreement requiring Travis to spend 15 years in prison. He was also ordered to pay roughly $25,000 in fines. Prosecutors say it is the longest sentence ever imposed in an animal-abuse case in Virginia and nearly doubles the previous state record. And to be clear: this is 15 years in prison. Not probation. Not a suspended sentence. The Henrico County Sheriff’s Office currently lists Travis in custody with no bond. He has also pleaded guilty to related charges in Chesterfield County and is scheduled to be sentenced there in December.

They thought something was wrong. They compared names. They compared cats. They compared stories. And they kept digging.

You messed with the wrong rescue.

Hello, everyone!

Bana is a sick stray kitten that I found near my apartment. Thanks to your kindness and support, I was able to bring her to the veterinary clinic today.

She was examined by the veterinarian and underwent a CBC test. She was diagnosed with a bacterial skin infection. Her bloodwork also showed an elevated white blood cell count, indicating an infection, and that she is slightly anemic. She received an antibiotic injection and was prescribed an iron supplement to help with her recovery.

I also ordered additional wet food, as I am currently caring for two other rescued kittens and an adult cat with dental issues. The order was delivered today.

I will post another update on Bana in the next few days to let everyone know how she's doing.

A big THANK YOU to everyone's kindness and support.

This girl perked up and started making biscuits this evening! We want to say thanks to everyone who has donated and boosted my post. We appreciate you. 💕

Good morning my dear friends.

Today my heart is full of joy, emotion and gratitude. Today more than 130 stray kittens of the port managed to eat and fill their little bellies, thanks to your love, support and your big hug.

Words really seem poor in front of what we all managed to do together… The images speak for themselves and capture the joy, relief and hope that you gave to these innocent souls.

In addition to food, the kittens also received the necessary care with deworming products, so that they would be healthier and more protected. Every little help became a great act of love.

I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the precious support, sensitivity and humanity that you show daily to the stray kittens of the port. Thanks to you, these creatures feel that they are not alone.

The need for food and help for the kittens never ends. Anyone who wishes to help can do so by clicking on the link below 👇

Be well, everyone. 🙏🐾💛

With the help I received from kind members, I was able to bring not only Dumbell, who has an eye infection, but also her sister Barbell to the vet at Vet On The Go.

I originally planned to bring only Dumbell for further examination and to schedule her eye enucleation, as Barbell had been doing well. However, suddenly and for unknown reasons, Barbell became weak and lost her appetite.

Dumbell was examined and had a CBC test. The vet confirmed that her left eye is no longer functional and needs to be removed to prevent further infection. Her surgery is scheduled for October 13. I will definitely post another update after her surgery.

Unfortunately, Barbell's condition was much more serious than I expected. The vet said that she was too weak and was having difficulty breathing, so she needed to be confined immediately. Unfortunately, confinement is not available at Vet On The Go so I had to rush Barbell to another clinic.

I brought Barbell to Deloso Vet Clinic as quickly as I could, but sadly, Barbell did not make it.

It was heartbreaking to lose her, especially after bringing her to the vet hoping that she could be helped.

On the same day at Vet On The Go, I was also able to have two female cats spayed. One of them is Elfy, a Neuro-FIP survivor, who will be adopted soon. I will share a separate update about her.

Thank you very much to everyone who helped and supported us.

I will keep this a bit short so I don't ramble, but I have my last post attached.

First off, because of you all, I was able to help Kim and 3 other colony caretakers she knows with dry and wet food.  These items are extremely crucial, especially wet food in this heat.  The more trust we build, the more we can TNR. 

(We tnred 4 cats the other day at NAWS!!!  Some we may need a drop trap which is why I have on the list♡ )

I am beyond grateful for everything you all do for us.  I am going to have 5 kittens to fix in a few months, and with you helping me with my list, that means I can put all I can aside for that.  Hopefully work will add hours soon, but I work for Albertson's sadly, not exactly a company that cares for their people lol.  But you all ordering litter and food and such has help me more than you know. The floofaloofs are always first priority.   This is House of Floofaloof.   The outside/colony cats we are working on TNR too, and helping with my list means when I have $50, I can use it to fix one of them too.  Slowly but surely.  You have changed so many lives for the better, between cats and those who work hard to take care of them.  Thank you for all you do, not just for us, but everyone who works to save the floofaloofs.

You are the good in the world, and we won't let you down♡

Hello everyone!

I am a solo animal rescuer based in Manila, Philippines.

UPDATE ON RAMBO (Photos 1–8)

Rambo was an abandoned cat found in one of the areas where I regularly feed stray cats. He was weak, dehydrated, malnourished, and had a severely infected wound on his scrotum.

With your help and support, I was able to bring him to the vet on July 28. Since then, he has been confined at Deloso Veterinary Clinic.

According to the vet, his wound is slowly healing, but his appetite is still not good enough. It has been more than two weeks, and unfortunately, I have not seen a significant improvement in Rambo's condition.

For now, I have decided to have him discharged from the clinic. I will do my best to care for him at home and closely monitor his condition over the next few days. If there is still no improvement, I will have him confined at a different veterinary clinic for further treatment and monitoring.

As of August 7, I was able to pay $349 toward his running bill. Today, I was able to settle the remaining balance of $57. The total amount spent on Rambo is $406.

UPDATE ON BLACKY (Photos 9–16)

Blacky was dumped on the side of the road. I saw her while I was on my way home from the vet. She was with her sister, Grey, and I decided to take both of them with me.

I was able to deworm them and apply anti-flea spray. Grey appears to be doing fine, but Blacky seemed to have an infection in her right eye.

With your help and support, I was able to bring Blacky to the vet today. She was examined by the veterinarian and was prescribed a pain reliever and antibiotic eye drops.

UPDATE ON SUSIE (Photos 17–20)

Susie was also a dumped kitten found in one of the areas where I regularly feed stray cats. I noticed right away that she had a tumor near her right eye.

She has already undergone tumor removal surgery, and today, she had her sutures removed. Thankfully, she has also found a new home with someone who works as a staff member at a nearby pet shop.

However, her wound is not healing well, so the veterinarian gave her an antibiotic injection to help prevent further infection.

Thank you very much for your continued help, support, and generosity. Your assistance makes it possible for me to continue rescuing and caring for animals in need.

Scout did great today! He’s estimated to be around 2 years old and weighs only 7 pounds. The vet said he should ideally be 10–12 pounds, so he has some weight to gain. The good news is he’s feeling better and has already eaten three different times today! Because Scout had some diarrhea that got on his incision this morning, the vet gave him a long-acting antibiotic injection to prevent infection. With that added treatment, the total vet bill came to $171.19. Unfortunately, I had to skip the FIV test for now due to the extra cost. Hopefully with the next boy we trap we’ll be able to raise enough funds and not run into sickness beforehand. I’ll post my donation information for anyone who wants to help — any extra funds will go directly to the next TNR cat. We currently have 3 more males that need to be trapped and fixed, and 8 cats whose vaccines will be coming due soon. I’ll also post our wishlist, because with summer coming we’ll need cooling items and supplies to help keep the colony comfortable. Thank you to everyone who helped Scout and continues to support these cats. This community truly makes it possible. 🐾❤️

I'm sorry it took me a few days to make this post, I've been working as much as I can. You guys have done more for me than I ever imagined. I got things I didn't even know I needed. Wet and dry food, treats, toys, bedding, cleaning supplies. I'm floored at how many of you responded. I'll definitely be able to use my next month pay for getting my kittens fixed! I'm so grateful, I can't even put it into words. I'm humbled. Thank you for rallying behind me and helping us with our cat family, inside and outside! Today is my birthday and honestly, this is the best gift ever, supplies for my fur babies ♡♡♡♡♡ Thank you guys and gals, it means the world to me! I'll keep everyone updated on these cutie floofs. Thank you for all your love. Sorry if I'm being redundant, I'm just so appreciative that I'm crying happy tears!

Ukraine, Vinnytsia, Mykola Ovodov St., 22, Khvostyky CatCafe

Just wanted to drop in and introduce our little space from Vinnytsia, Ukraine. We run a rescue cat cafe called "Khvostyky" (Little Tails), and right now we are caring for 36 rescued kitties and 2 sweet doggos.

Every single one of our residents has a story. Some were saved from the streets, some came from harsh conditions, and others needed urgent medical care. But thanks to love, patience, and good food, they get a second chance at life. They get to heal, socialize with visitors, and wait for their forever families in a safe, warm space.

Running a rescue in these times is definitely a full-time hustle, but seeing a terrified, sick cat transform into a confident, purring couch potato makes every tough day totally worth it.

If you'd like to follow our rescue journey, see daily updates, and meet our furry crew, we post regularly on Instagram and Threads (links are in our profile).

Huge respect to everyone here doing rescue work and helping animals in need! Keep being awesome

Hello everyone,

First, I would like to thank this sub, the moderators, and all the members here. Without your help, I wouldn’t be able to continue supporting stray animals.

Toby has undergone a physical exam, CBC, and blood chemistry tests. Unfortunately, we won’t be able to save one of his eyes, as it is no longer functional. According to the vet, the injury was most likely caused by a cat fight.

His CBC results show a mild infection, likely coming from the affected eye. He was given an antibiotic injection (Convenia), along with an oral dewormer and anti-flea treatment (NexGard).

His blood chemistry results also indicate elevated amylase (AMY), and he is suspected to have pancreatitis. Because of this, the vet has scheduled a full abdominal X-ray on March 25.

After settling today’s vet bill of $90, I still have approximately $150 remaining, which will go toward the upcoming X-ray and take-home medications.

The vet also advised that Toby will need eye enucleation to prevent future infections. For now, I will prioritize addressing the pancreatitis. I will post another update on Toby next week.

Again, thank you very much for your continued help and support.

I can't thank you all enough for pulling through for us♡ I am beyond words. (And you can see ThreeSocks is excited!) I usually use Chewy or Tractor gift cards when we are low, but I had no more (i put them on my list for this reason), as I used them the past couple weeks to help a couple people with cat food and flea treatments so they can pay the 50 dollar fee to get their cats fixed. I know so many people claim pets are a luxury, but they aren't. They are innocent creatures we are suppose to protect, so I will do all I can to help make sure they are fixed and living their best lives and loved. I also was able to give Kim a cat carrier because one of you all were amazing enough to order me one, and she was ecstatic!!! It makes my heart full to know that there is an army of kind people, those who band together to do all they can for those innocent animals who need us the most. I know many of us cut costs everywhere possible to make sure they are cared for.

I am also very, VERY grateful for the playpen, as I keep it on the side of my bed so that I can have the little kitten next to me, and I know once I get another bottle baby, it will be much easier to have them next to me at night.♡

Thank you for supporting us through our Amazon Wishlist, as that lets me use that money for people who cannot afford TNR and for Colony TNRing. Also for vet apps, defleaing, deworming, gas money for Kim to take them to their appts, etc.

Thank you for being there for the floofaloofs. I will also post my bank account in the comments that it is literally down to the penny. Work won't have the pay mistake fixed until next check. ♡

We will never stop trying to save as many floofaloofs as we can.

Super grateful for the reddit community ♥️♥️ yall are amazing and much appreciated. for both boost and donations. Thank YOU!

We are so excited to be able to help get these poor animals out of any dangerous situations. We are a foster based rescue (it is all we can do for now), after a while we will be able to transport these guys on our own instead of relying on for-profit companies. We do not have a website or logos yet any suggestions are welcomed. Thank you Rescue Cats we couldn’t have done this with our you everyone here has been such an inspiration.

Hello, everyone!

I am a solo animal rescuer based in the Philippines.

Please be informed that I wanted to post yesterday, but I was only able to post today due to the sub's posting frequency rule. Thank you for your understanding.

I am truly grateful for your kindness, help, and continued support. Because of your generosity, I was able to purchase the following supplies for my rescued and stray cats:

Pet shop purchase – June 28 (Total: $167) (Photos 7–8)
• 2 sacks of adult dry food (20 kg each)
• 14 cans of adult wet food
• 4 packs of cat litter

Pet shop purchase – June 29 (Total: $45) (Photos 9–10)
• 1 sack of urinary care dry food (7 kg)
• 14 cans of wet food

Online purchase delivered on June 28 (Total: $25) (Photos 11–12)
• 28 pouches of kitten wet food
• 1 pack of coconut peat litter (20L) – It is much more affordable than bentonite litter. While it doesn't clump or control odors as well, I can mix it with bentonite litter to make my supplies last longer.

Online purchase delivered on June 29 (Total: $8) (Photos 13–14)
• 2 packs of cat litter (10L each)

Total spent on pet shop and online purchases: $245

Thanks to your generosity, my rescued cats and the stray cats in our community will have enough food and litter supplies for the next couple of weeks.

The weather is gloomy today, and feeding the stray cats has been a challenge. But rain or shine, I'll do my best to make sure they are fed and cared for. They depend on me, and I won't give up on them.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for your continued kindness and support.

Hello everyone!

A kind member recently sent some in-kind donations, and I also received monetary donations totaling $63, which I used to purchase a new outdoor cat house.

It has been raining heavily over the past few weeks, and one of my existing outdoor cat houses was damaged. I needed to replace it to keep the dry food I leave outside my apartment sheltered from the rain and prevent it from getting soaked.

The new outdoor cat house cost $37, leaving $26 remaining. I will carry this balance forward to my next fundraiser. One of my rescued cats also needs a follow-up veterinary check-up, and I will make a separate post about that soon.

Thank you so much for your continued kindness, help, and support.

❤️ Shelter Recovery Update & A Heartfelt Thank You 🙏

Hello everyone! I just want to give an update and say thank you so much to everyone who has helped us slowly recover from Typhoon Opong, which hit us hard here in Masbate, Philippines and damaged several parts of our shelter.

Because of your kindness, we are finally seeing progress. 💖 I care for 65 rescued dogs and cats, and every bit of support — no matter how small — means the world to us. What you may think is little is already a huge blessing for us. You are truly making a change! ❤️

Here’s where we are now:

🏠 Roof repair – ongoing, just waiting for more hut materials since supply is short. 🚧 Water drainage – currently being built for our soon-to-be furever shelter to prevent flooding. 🧱 Collapsed wall – waiting for available laborers to start repair. 🍚 Foods and supplies – already bought! We still can’t stock meat or fish since there’s no electricity yet in most parts of Masbate.

This subreddit has been full of supportive and compassionate people, and I can really tell that most of you here are genuinely kind and have the purest intentions to help animals. ❤️

The mods also make sure everyone here is safe, which truly shows how much this community cares.

I’m beyond grateful and proud to be part of r/rescuecats. You’ve given us hope during one of the hardest times of our life.

Let’s continue to help these innocent animals together — I love this community so much! ❤️🐾

Hi everyone!

With your help and support, I was able to bring Rambo to the vet for a follow-up checkup. He had a CBC and BloodChem test. Please note that the currency shown on the receipts are in Philippine pesos.

As expected, his WBC is still high since he has only been taking Itraconazole for a week. His treatment is for 30 days, so we still have a long way to go. Thankfully, his liver and kidney values are currently okay since Itraconazole can potentially affect the liver, we need to closely monitor his liver throughout his treatment.

I’m very happy to share that Rambo is showing improvements! His appetite has increased, and he has gained a significant amount of weight—from 1.8 kg when I first rescued him to 3.2 kg now. According to the vet, I just need to continue his prescribed medications and supplements and monitor his progress - no additional medication for now.

With your continued help and support, I was also able to purchase the following supplies for the cats:

Pet shop purchases (photos 7 and 8):

• 1 sack of adult dry food (20 kg)

• 1 small sack of kitten dry food (10 kg)

• 4 additional packs of adult dry food (1 kg each)

• 14 cans of wet food

• 3 packs of litter

Online purchases (photos 9–12):

• 4 packs of litter

• 60 pouches of wet food

• 2 scratch pads

Please be informed that these supplies will last a little over a week for the 70+ cats I care for (over 30 rescued cats and more than 40 community cats).

I am currently looking for Itraconazole suspension for Rambo. I have not been able to find it locally. The 100 mg capsules I am currently giving him are very difficult to dilute in water because the contents are tiny pellets rather than powder.

If you can help me find or send Itraconazole suspension, please kindly send me a message, and I will gladly provide the shipping address.

Thank you so much to this sub, the amazing mods and everyone who has helped Rambo and the other cats.

Hello everyone!

This is Frequent-Towel-5762. Unfortunately, I lost access to my old account. I tried appealing several times, but it was unsuccessful. I’ve heard that similar situations have happened to other rescuers as well.

Thankfully, I was able to create this new account, earn enough karma, and get approved to post donation requests in this sub.

A big THANK YOU to r/rescuecats for the approval and continued support, with a special mention to u/maddestofcheeses.

I would also like to sincerely thank everyone who has helped and supported me since last year through my old account. Your kindness has made a tremendous difference in the lives of the cats I care for. Thanks to your generosity, more than 70 cats have been spayed and neutered, and countless others have received much needed medical care.

As for Rambo, he is slowly showing signs of improvement. His white blood cell count is no longer extremely high and is now only slightly elevated, although his platelet count is high.

The wound near his scrotum is healing well, but he is still dealing with a respiratory infection.

During his recent visit, the veterinarian collected swab samples for fungal and bacterial cultures. Since these tests are not available at Serbisyo Beterinaryo Animal Hospital, the samples were sent to an external laboratory. The results should be available within 1–2 weeks and will help determine which antibiotic will be most effective for him.

In the meantime, Rambo has been prescribed doxycycline and a supplement to help with his respiratory infection. I was able to purchase the medications, but unfortunately, I accidentally left them in a Grab vehicle. If I am unable to recover them, I will purchase replacements.

Despite everything, Rambo's appetite is good, which is very encouraging. I will continue caring for him and will bring him to all of his follow-up appointments. I will also continue posting updates on his progress.

Once again, thank you so much to r/rescuecats and to everyone who has helped Rambo and supported my rescue efforts!

Good day everyone! First and foremost, I would like to express my gratitude to every member of this community for showing their love and support for Rhegal, no matter where they are situated in the world.

Yesterday, 17 May 2025, we took Rhegal to a hospital that conducts orthopedic surgeries as the cat hospital we initially took Rhegal in does not have those procedures. We were also able to get a quote on how much his surgery would cost for the amputation of his severed foot. But we did hear some good news. ❤️

Rhegal’s orthopedic vet told us that there was a chance he might not be needing amputation as it could be possible that his flesh would heal and grow around his bones protruding outside and eventually cover it up (Hence why the diagnosis on his medical certificate on page 1 indicates “possible amputation”). While this may take a really long time and might even require life-long medication, we have become hopeful that Rhegal might not need to go through the harsh pains of surgery and losing both his hind legs.

The quotation given to us for the amputation of his foot was also estimated to be around ₱12,430 (photo of which is uploaded) which already includes all the necessary items and procedure such as anesthesia, xray, blood tests, and his 24 hours confinement to rest.

Fortunately, a lot of kind and compassionate souls in this community generously donated for Rhegal and reaching that goal, should he ever be recommended for surgery, will no longer be unattainable. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so, so much for your support. Everything you have done kept us going. Every boost/upvote, donation, and prayers helped save a life.

Rhegal will have a check-up this coming May 20 for his wound check-up/reassessment, and his overall checkup again on May 28 where his blood test will be taken again. Rest assured that while we are waiting and praying that the outcome of Rhegal’s medications will no longer be used for his amputation, every expense we have been incurring from the funds raised are spent only for his food and medications—prescribed medicines, spray, ointment, gauze pads and similar medical items used for cleaning and disinfecting his wounds twice a day.

To read about how we found Rhegal and his story, you may click this link: https://www.reddit.com/r/rescuecats/s/mvNyQmHeMD

For those who still wish to aid us in covering for Rhegal’s on-going daily medications, you may course your donations through my PayPal account indicated below, or send me a message should you wish to donate directly to my bank account.

I am deeply grateful to each and everyone of you. Bless you all! 💖

I hope everyone who commented on my last post and donated for Berries can see this! He’s already almost looking like a normal kitten. He even started to play here and there. Berries is very lucky to be alive and I can’t wait until he finds his forever home!

Wishing ever a very Happy Easter. Hug your loved ones today. I’m Checking post reach please comment a 🐰if you see this post.

To My Supporters from r/rescuecats 💛🐾

I just want to express my deepest thank you to everyone here who has shown love and support for me and my 65 rescued dogs and cats.

Whether you donated, shared, boosted, commented, or simply left kind words — please know that every single action has meant so much to us.

Because of your help, we can now continue with the needed repairs and provide food and supplies for my rescues. I can finally breathe a little easier, knowing they are safe, fed, and cared for.

To those who gave what they could, and to the generous anonymous donors — thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your kindness has brought hope back into our days.

As a small celebration for my rescues, I bought 5 roasted chickens — their favorite! 🍗 Of course, I removed the bones before serving. Seeing them so happy and full reminded me that compassion truly changes lives.

Thank you so much, r/rescuecats, for being such a supportive and kind community. You’ve given us not only help, but also hope to keep going. 💛

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Hey everyone,

A few days ago, I made a post saying “We need our community back.”

Things have been incredibly difficult lately. Support has slowed, our intake remains closed, and honestly, I started this fundraiser hoping to raise more than money... I wanted to give our organization a much-needed morale boost.

And you guys delivered.

We didn't just reach our goal. We EXCEEDED it! ❤️

Thank you to EVERYONE who donated, shared, commented, upvoted, or helped get our posts in front of more people. Whether you gave $5 or $100, you were part of this.

I added $100 to the match for my birthday hoping my yearly birthday donation could have a bigger impact this year.

You made that happen.

After nearly 5 years and thousands of cats saved, you reminded us of something we really needed to hear:

Our community is still here. ❤️

From me and everyone at Kittens In The Mitten:

THANK YOU. Seriously. 🐾❤️
