Here's another excellent chance to get a lot of free hugs from the internet for MEOW:
http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1wj01w/kitties_need_bicoins/ This cat shelter in the USA is reaching out to the Bitcoin community right now asking for help feeding kitties with Bitcoin. Can we show them that kitties grow best when fed MEOWs?
The Original website is here:
kittysafehaven.orgThis really underscores the need for a tipbot BTW. Even NYANcoin has one on reddit.
This. Kitteh and dog should play together, Not fight. No need to induce malicious intentions. Save the kittehs!
I will pledge 200,000 meow if they are legit.
I too will pledge 200K meow. If we can get this community to donate to a good cause that will show people how strong we are and that we are serious about this. Hope others will jump on board as well.
Ugh. I might have to buy back in just so I can pledge some MEOW too, this would be a sweet gesture. Who lives in the USA or better yet somewhere near this place, I think it is in Missouri (that's MO, right?)
Any graphic design types want to make a Donate MEOWs or Donate Kittehcoin button? The shelter can collect MEOWs and then convert them to Bitcoin to use in Bitpay a week or two after launch day to give MEOW time to gain momentum. Then about 2 weeks or so after launch day, the final usa dollar amount collected would be used to promote MEOW *again* in forums and stuff, giving it an extra bump in visibility possibly even bigger than launch day itself. Even if it's not $30,000, it's still going to be impressive. The budget of a cat shelter is much smaller than an olympic bobsled team, and donations will go farther and do more good.
4Chan animals board (is it /a/ or /an/, i don't remmeber) would be a great place to start spreading this around on launch.
So I looked into these guys, and I'm a little iffy. Pretty sure they're legit, but it seems the owner can't separate personal from business. I also don't see any evidence that they're a registered charity / non-profit.. Finally - She seems to spend a lot of time selling books on amazon and emailing BTC organizations for donations, but there isn't much on her site about the facilities, adoptions, number of cats etc.. She claims to try to get them adopted, but doesn't appear to be putting much effort into that.

http://www.cathouseonthekings.com/I propose starting a charity fund.. I'll offer to collect funds at this address: KFYDw4RHKNWTJm9LqnbooaAHdQjXN2JUWX
Why would can trust me to not steal them?I invite skepticism as I'm a skeptic myself. I was one of the primary investigators the Shares IPO scam, for which pretty much everyone was paid back. I've been involved in Kittehcoin since day 1. I have a vested interest in Kittehcoin's success, and stealing the donations would do more to harm my investments than actually donating them as intended.
All that said, I'd fully support a cleaner alternative option, such as Danosphere facilitating this. If this is the desired approach, I'll gladly pass forward any donations sent to KFYDw4RHKNWTJm9LqnbooaAHdQjXN2JUWX.
Even though I control both wallets and therefore it's a token symbol, I'm transferring 200k Kitteh into this wallet now as my personal contribution.
