Emmie's Ride to Rescue: Supporting NYC cat rescue groups
Donation protected
On a regular Thursday morning, a tiny kitten made an extraordinary journey — walking straight onto the 2 train in the heart of New York City. She was alone, scared, and ignored by most passengers. But that day, I saw her and I couldn’t leave her behind. Emmie's, short for MTA, story quickly went viral, capturing hearts around the world and reminding us all what it means to care, to act, and to help the voiceless. Now, Emmie’s journey is just the beginning.
I am partnering with my friend and local NY Animal Rescuer, @CandiceKumai, to give back, not to ourselves, but to the incredible NYC animal rescues that work tirelessly every day to care for abandoned, stray, and vulnerable animals like Emmie.
100% of proceeds will be split between these three local animal rescue organizations, each doing lifesaving work across the city:
- Little Wanderers NYC of the Bronx
- Bronx Community Cats
- Be the Change Animal Rescue of Harlem
Your donation will help provide:
- Emergency medical care
- Shelter & foster placement
- Food, supplies, and transportation
- Spay/neuter and vaccination services
Together, we can honor Emmie's journey by helping countless other animals find their way home. Let’s make Emmie’s rescue the spark that fuels many more.
Thank you so much for your support
