Our Executive Director belongs to a facebook group called "oh my g-d what a f*cking cat", and a young woman named Amryn posted the below photo.
Hundreds of people flocked to the thread to ask "why is there a shrimp ring on your wall?" to which Amryn replied "If answers are what you seek, you must earn them" and posted this photo:
Yes, that is a still. No, the original is also not a video.
Recognising that Amryn's chaotic evil deed could be turned to good use, our Director reached out to her and asked if she would like to actually make people earn the answer to the shrimp ring question. They settled on a reasonable goal for a group of 47,000 members to reach in a thread with about 700 readers, and the fundraiser was born.
As an added (HUGE!) bonus, Tess Diamond of Art by Pastel Diamond will paint an original painting of the cat with a shrimp ring to be awarded to the person who makes the largest donation. She is a wildly talented artist whose art is captivating and whose pet portraits really mirror the essence of the companion animals she paints.
