Giving Back Through The Allie Foundation

  • Cat-in-the-Bag is a proud foundation sponsor of the non-profit animal charity, The Allie Foundation.
  • The charity’s mission is to support other charitable organizations in their efforts to care for abused and neglected animals through gifts and grants. These funds go toward a range of amazing projects, including hurricane relief, wildfire rescue projects, and shelter and adoption efforts.
  • Part of our sales at Cat-in-the-Bag go to the animal charity to help animals in need. We also help them raise funds through friends like yourself on social media!
  • You can help support this charity, too. Follow us on social media for fundraising updates or consider donating at thealliefoundation.org (any amount helps).

In case it wasn’t obvious, we’re big cat lovers at Cat-in-the-Bag. We created our Cozy Comfort Carrier because we wanted a softer, roomier carrier for our beloved cat, Gremlin. And to this day, we continue to advocate for our crate-free cat carriers and share our insight into the mysterious minds of cats on our cat blog.

We’re proud of sponsoring The Allie Foundation, a non-profit animal charity. It’s our way to give back not only to cats but the many animals that need help around the world.

What is The Allie Foundation?

They’re a 501(c) (3) public charity that gives back to animals in need. Their mission is to financially support animal rescue groups. They do this by funding efforts such as providing food, water, and shelter after disasters like wildfires and hurricanes. They have even assisted with animal welfare efforts in Ukraine.

We appreciate them and the organizations that they support for championing animal welfare and providing the medical care, shelter, and services that animals need to not only survive, but thrive.

How Does Their Animal Charity Raise Funds?

The non-profit raises funds in a few ways:

  • Donations via thealliefoundation.org
  • Direct donations from a portion of Cat-in-the-bag’s sales
  • Fundraisers on Cat-in-the-bag’s Facebook page
  • Live events

Where Do Donations Go?

Some of their recent projects include:

  • Raising money for the International Fund for Animal Welfare to help animals in Ukraine
  • Raising funds so Brother Wolf Animal Rescue of Asheville, NC could build a new shelter after Hurricane Helene in 2024
  • Raising money for Austin Pets Alive after this summer’s flooding in Texas
  • Gifting donations to various non-profit animal rescues

How Cat-in-the-Bag Supports the Foundation

We’re committed to helping cats and other animals thrive, just like our friends at The Allie Foundation. This is why we donate our soft cat carriers, gently used and in excellent condition, to rescue organizations that make a request through the animal charity. Our donations directly help with rescuing, transporting, and treating animals under the care of these organizations.

But our cat carrier donations are just part of how we support them. As a sponsor, Cat-in-the-Bag helps raise money for the foundation.

Here are a few ways in which Cat-in-the-Bag, along with our Facebook friends, have helped support this animal charity:

  • Raised donations for those affected by Hurricane Helene, which the Allie Foundation matched!
  • Raised funds for the victims of the devastating North Complex Fire in California
  • Helped raise funds to support International Fund for Animal Welfare in their efforts to help animals following Australia’s wildfires in 2019

How You Can Support This Charity Too

Want to become a part of our community and help support The Allie Foundation’s mission? We’re glad to have you! You can:

  • Become friends with Cat-in-the-Bag on Facebook. We’ll let you know when fundraising opportunities come up!
  • Donate. ANY amount helps.

Let’s Make Positive Changes Together

At Cat-in-the-Bag, we’re committed to making travel and everyday tasks like grooming easier for cats and their humans. But we want to do so much more, not only for our cats but for cats all over the globe. That’s why we’re proud to be an animal charity sponsor.

By helping to raise funds for this charity, we’re doing our part in helping to provide cats and other animals the compassionate care they need. And of course, nothing makes us prouder than getting to share our Cozy Comfort Carrier with abused and neglected cats.

Please consider making a donation to The Allie Foundation, and be sure to follow Cat-in-the-Bag on Facebook for animal charity updates.
