Before anyone starts to think there's a good guy in this story:
He says he's going to use the money to support local vets, but why don't you just share some links to spca to donate directly, you're providing nothing but a way for you to grift by taking the money through meme coins.
Yes, this is the extra cherry on top that makes San Francisco look like a parody of itself here lol
Or even better: Be the "good guy" by giving your cat a happy, healthy, secure, and longer life by keeping them indoors. People hate to be told what to do, and some cats love it outside, but guess what? My dog would love to eat 10lbs of chocolate. We have to look out for their best interests. This obviously doesn't mean don't ever take them outside leashed or supervised, but the fact remains: indoor cats have a better, less stressful life, and don't decimate local bird populations...
I always ask people how they would think about my Dog coming into their garden unsupervised, shitting and pissing all over the place, digging out flowers and fighting with other Dogs. I'm sure they would be less than thrilled and yet the same is okay for cats.
