Help build out the new Cat Man Van!

Donation protected

Meow meow meooooow! And welcome to the 2021 Cat Man Van fundraising campaign!

As many of you know, Millie, my old 2001 Dodge Caravan bit the dust last November, even though I was bummed to see her go, I was able to donate her remains and raise a little bit of cash to help out Oakland’s homeless cat population with our friends at Cat Town!

Now… thanks in part to slinging a lot of cat butthole t-shirts, a generous supporter, and a little help from my folks, I've finally made the jump into the next Cat Man Mobile!

SO… Meet the new CTMNVAN, a BEAUTIFUL 1968 Dodge A108!

I don’t know a TON about cars, but this 53 year old van has a 318 V8 with 3 speed automatic transmission, original blue and white paint [with mostly minor surface rust], and the optional Travco Family Wagon modifications. The most important of which, is the extended top that makes it so I [an almost 6 foot tall dude] can stand fully upright inside of it!

Not only is this thing going to haul SO MANY FREAKING CATS, but I’ll also be able to do pop-up shops out of it, camp in it, and even host Cat Man Bingo games from JUST ABOUT ANYWHERE THAT I WANT!

I’ve got big plans for this beautiful lady, and with the help of some super talented mechanic friends, and your support, we’ll be able to bring this van into the 21st century, and keep her healthy and hauling cats for another 53 years! The main goal for this campaign is to raise enough money to pay my folks back for what they fronted me, and finish making the van a reliable daily driver… and while I do love the V8 that’s under the hood… the ultimate plan is to make this van FULLY ELECTRIC, and with your help, we can reach that goal pretty quickly!

So, I’ve launched this GoFundMe Campaign, with the idea that I’m not asking you to support the “dream” but to support the PLAN!

Check out the perks for supporting the Cat Man Van Plan below:

  • Contributing $10 or more to the campaign will get you a playing card for our #CatManBingo game on Monday June 21st at 7PM Pacific!

  • Contributing $500 or more to the campaign will get you all of the above, plus a License Plate Magnet that will live in the van forever! Every time I transport for Feral Change or go trapping, I'll think of you!
  • Contributing $1000 or more will get you everything above, plus an engraved 'Thank You' badge that will be mounted to the van, and a 8x8 in. print of me and they boys with the van! Any time the van breaks down... I'll curse your name!

 

Then on June 19th, come meet the van from 10AM - 4PM when we pop-up outside of Cat Town and the RAWR Coffee Bar to celebrate the end of the campaign, and my birthday!

As always, thank you all so much for your continued support on this absolutely crazy cat filled journey I’m on!
