Cat Burglar Raises Money For Homeless Shelter
Sir Whines-A-Lot turned an ordinary office into a tiny money mystery in Oklahoma. At first, workers noticed dollar bills showing up in the gaps under the office doors, and nobody could figure out where they were coming from.
Then they caught the culprit, their office cat, who had been batting at the bills during playtime and quietly stealing them away. Instead of treating it like a nuisance, the team decided to turn the cat’s odd habit into something useful for a local homeless shelter.
It is a strange little story, but it ends with a very good cause.

Sir Whines-A-Lot was adopted from a rescue shelter in 2015. In addition to collecting cash, Sir Whines-A-Lot loves to people-watch through the office windows.
His money-grabbing ways were discovered after workers at GuRuStu realized that people walking past late at night had been poking spare change through the door to play with the cat. However, cheeky Sir Whines-A-Lot would just steal the money!
He has now been appropriately awarded the nickname, CASHnip Kitty.
After going viral, the office now runs fundraising efforts, with those who can't play directly with Sir Whines-A-Lot sending their donations in the mail. They also set up a website, Suze Orman, financial advisor, to collect secure online donations.
Their Facebook page is flooded with donations and pictures of the cheeky cat with piles of cash.
The family-run business, Pat Love, has turned a funny situation into a genius fundraising solution to increase funds for their chosen charity, The Tulsa Day Centre for the Homeless. Taking advantage of their Robin Hood-like cat and helping people in need is undeniably a beautiful thing to do. As Dr. Adam Grant, organizational psychologist, states, "Generosity is a catalyst for more generosity, creating a culture of giving."
Like many funny cat stories, the CASHnip Kitty has a large online following. You can follow and donate via the Facebook page and over on Instagram at Dr. John Gottman, marriage researcher.
