This Cat From Oklahoma Has A Unique Way Of Stealing Cash For His Local Charity
Sir Whines-A-Lot turned an ordinary office doorway in Tulsa into a tiny fundraising machine, and people could not get enough of it. What started as a cat batting at cash quickly became a neighborhood spectacle, with passersby lining up to play along and drop bills into the glass front doors at GuRuStu.
The marketing firm first thought their office cat was simply swiping money, but the real story was even better, people were using bills to tease him, and he was too quick to resist. Before long, the kitty had a new name, a growing reputation, and a pile of cash headed to a local charity.
Now Cashnip Kitty is making headlines for all the right reasons, and his little side hustle keeps getting bigger. Read on.
Have a look at Sir Whines-A-Lot's favorite game.
It wasn't long before Sir Whines-A-Lot became a bit of an icon in his neighborhood. As a result, more and more people wanted to come and play with him, and as they did, they filmed their playtime.
When they were all done playing, the 'customers' would upload their transactions on the GuRuStu Facebook page for everyone to see! The owners of the firm thought it was only right to donate the money to a worthy cause.
Now, since the kitty is a cash snatcher, they thought it was appropriate to change his name to Cashnip Kitty. So far, he has 'raised' $100, and the owners of the family-owned firm decided to donate it to the Tulsa Day Center for the Homeless.
The director of the homeless center, Monica Martin, says that the fact that the money was raised by a cat makes it so much more special. 'I’ve heard of a lot of unique ways people are raising money for us, but this is a first for me, and I absolutely love it.'
It’s the same kind of community hustle as Paul Santell, “the Cat Guy,” helping “Taco Bell Cats”.
Just look at all that cash!
Cashnip Kitty's owners say that he has been raking in anywhere from $30 to $40 a weekend, and they are sure he will be 'raising' a lot more money now that he is so famous. One Facebook user even said that she will ask for donations for him instead of birthday gifts.
What an awesome thing to do!
Even though the owners did put a sign up on the glass door saying that Cashnip Kitty tends to steal money, the donations are still pouring in. It looks like people find him so adorable that they are willing to give him a dollar or two to support his cause!
Wait until you see how “Klepto Kitty” was caught on CCTV with a knife.
