@CASHnipKitty took the internet and world by storm in 2017 when a video of him stealing money from passersby who slipped cash through a slot in the door of a local business went viral. When this phenomenon kept occurring, CASHnip’s owner Stuart McDaniel, decided to turn the feline’s thievery into good by donating it all to the Tulsa Day Center. McDaniel adopted CASHnip Kitty, originally named Sir Whines a Lot, from the Tulsa Animal Shelter when he was 6 months old. McDaniel brought the cat to his GuRuStu office at 628 E. Third St., and it wasn’t long after that mysterious dollars began finding their way into the office space. At press time, CASHnip’s donations total approximately $11,000 for Tulsa Day Center, which includes funds snatched through the door of the office, money raised online through Facebook and gifts sent in cards from around the world. “We are still so amazed by how a little homeless kitty we adopted from the animal shelter became world famous for helping homeless humans,” says Beverly McDaniel, partner and director of communications of GuRuStu. “Never in our wildest dreams did we think CASHNip Kitty, who is now known worldwide, would continue to be one of our most faithful supporters,” says Monica Martin, director of development for Tulsa Day Center. “He’s a great promoter for the needs of the homeless.” From our November issue.
