Anti-Valentines Day Campaign:

Feeling a little extra salty this Valentine's Day? Not everyone’s heart is feeling the love—maybe it’s an ex who broke yours, a boss who makes your life miserable, or a friend who left you in the dust. Whatever the reason, HSWM has the solution to help you let off some steam.

For a small donation, you can make your frustrations known—thanks to our fabulous feline friends!

For a $10 donation, they'll write your enemy's name on the bottom of a litter box, and let our cats do what they do best—taking care of business on top of it. You will also receive a photo card via email.

For a $20 donation, not only will your enemy's name get a "special treatment" in the litter box, but we'll also email you a cute, exclusive video (we’ll respect their privacy, no messy footage, promise!) of our cat's "action" in real-time. It’s the ultimate way to bask in the joy of watching your grudges be pooped on from afar.
