Lil BUB's Big FUND x OKP: Where Science Meets Magic.

We are thrilled to announce a groundbreaking partnership between Lil BUB's Big FUND and the Orphan Kitten Project (OKP) at the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. Together, we're embarking on a mission to revolutionize the landscape for special needs pet rescue by merging the power of science with the enchantment of magic.

Since 1988, OKP has been at the forefront of kitten rescue, driven by the dedication and passion of veterinary students at UC Davis. Now, with the support of Lil BUB's Big FUND, we're taking this commitment to the next level.

Our partnership is not just about saving lives; it's about sharing stories, raising funds, and igniting change. By following the journey of vet students, fundraising collaboratively, and leveraging the reach of social media, we'll shine a spotlight on the incredible cats we're rescuing together.

In honor of Lil BUB's memory and spirit, we're proud to introduce a dedicated fund, Lil BUB’s Orphan Kitten Project, as a part of UC Davis’ OKP.

This fund will serve and support special needs cats, providing them with the care, love, and support they need to thrive. We’ll share their stories to transform the landscape for special needs pets and normalize their care.

As we embark on this journey, we invite you to join us in celebrating the magic of special needs cats. Our hope is to create a horizon where every special needs cat is able to thrive and find their forever home. Together, we can make a difference—one kitten at a time.

Meet George:

At the heart of our appeal is a remarkable cat named George. A 3.5-year-old domestic short hair, George's journey has been anything but ordinary. Despite being paraplegic and requiring daily care, his spirit remains strong and his zest for life contagious. Known for his iconic spider-like scurry and his little Huggies diapers, George's indomitable will and zest for life exemplify the very essence of resilience and joy.

Why Your Support Matters:

Your contribution to this fund will directly support the care of special needs cats like George and empower UC Davis veterinary students in their mission to change the landscape of veterinary care for special needs pets. Here's how your generosity can make a difference:
