What is all this?



Before we go into what Gaming for Kitties is, let’s take a moment to go into what it is NOT.

It is NOT someone asking you to throw money into a personal paypal with the hopes that maybe the charity will see some of it. We use MightyCause for donations and do not see a penny of it unless you choose to tip us which is an option you can do through MightyCause. And even then the tips will go to buying items to help us with the gamestream.  We use MightyCause because they allow us to keep a constant tally of donations and you can use your donation email from them on your taxes to get a deduction.  We do everything in our power to keep things honest and up front so nobody thinks their money is being used for personal gain.

It is NOT a weekend long game of Call of Duty. Not that Call of Duty is a bad game, but we like to play games that are fun to watch and don’t take up too much time. So you get silly games like Toonstruck, dramatic and personal games like Firewatch, and spooky weird games like The Last Door.  We want to make you laugh, cry, and think.  We also know that not everybody has twelve hours to burn to watch a game from start to finish, so instead we play short games that take two to six hours to play.  Some only take half an hour!  Many people who say they dislike game streams say they love ours.

So what IS Gaming for Kitties?  It's a 48 hour marathon designed to help raise money for Big Cat Rescue in Tampa Florida.  Every hour (except during breaks where we play videos) we offer raffle prizes in the form of steam game codes and donated physical prizes.  In the past people have donated art commissions, plush toys, electronics, and neat collectables.

On top of that we have fun things going on while the gaming is happening.  Fox draws her Court Reporter images that document fun parts of the stream, and you get to suggest ideas for them!  Plus we have live readings of weird scripts, we make our pit crew do goofy things once we hit certain goals, and we have lots of other fun ways you can participate!

The stream starts at 12:01AM on October 27th and runs until midnight on the 28th.  You can watch it on our Tigerdile site.  The stream is not blocked for people with no accounts, but you'll need one to be eligible for raffle prizes because we post the raffle URL in the chat channel which is not viewable to people with no account.  Tigerdile's admin, Tanabi, will NOT use your information for spam or personal use.  This is one of the reasons why we stick to his site for our event.

It's a weekend of tax-deductible fun with art, games, awesome friends, and lots of surprises.  We hope to see you there!
