Making a Difference: Audrey Wee's Mission to Tackle Cat Overpopulation
Hi, I'm Audrey Wee!
I've been a wee person all my life — and despite graduating high school in 2028, am still tiny to this day.
Although I may be small, my dream of playing a role in the rising issue of cat overpopulation is certainly not. Cat overpopulation is a major issue; a single female cat, along with her offspring, can produce around 12 to 18 kittens per year. Over the course of 7 years, one cat and her descendants can theoretically lead to the birth of up to 420,000 kittens if none are spayed or neutered!
This leads to overcrowded shelters, higher rates of euthanasia, and significant strain on animal welfare resources. Additionally, it can contribute to the spread of diseases, disrupt ecosystems by reducing wildlife populations, and increase the pressing issue of stray and feral cats in communities.
Negative impacts such as these will snowball into incredibly detrimental consequences if not addressed, which is why I'm dedicated to spreading awareness and donating absolutely all of my profit — 50% of my profit to Lokahi Collective’s cause and the other 50% to KAT Charities, the cat-cafe I volunteer at.
Join me, KAT Charities, and the Lokahi Mission on this journey by purchasing a crocheted keychain, plush, or flower! Every dollar makes a difference, so let's make the world a better place for our furry friends!
Mahalo,
Audrey Wee '28
