Every gift feeds a cat.
We don't take a cut. There is no office, no salary, no overhead. Money arrives, and it becomes cat food, vaccines, surgeries and kennel wire.
Send a gift
Card, from anywhere
Any credit or debit card, from any country, and you can pick a kennel on the form. The card processor keeps about 3% plus 30 cents; the rest goes to the cats.
Give by cardWant your gift to go to one kennel, or one cat? Write the kennel's name, or the cat's, in the memo or note of your payment (Cham Phak Kut 1, Cham Phak Kut 2, Phanu Garden). Gifts without a note are split equally among the kennels.
Some people give in memory of a cat of their own, or on October 21, the day Yeepun died. Write the name in the note, and we will know who the gift was for.

What your gift buys
Real prices from the kennels, as of my last visit. Costs marked with a year are older estimates.
- Monthly food and veterinary care · Cham Phak Kut 1 The ongoing cost. Real monthly figure coming after Tom's visit.
- Spay and neuter for the strays nearby · Cham Phak Kut 1 Every unspayed stray means more kittens at the gate.
- Food and cat litter for the thirteen cats at the house · Phanu Garden about 15,000 baht a month, probably more Roughly 430 dollars. This is Mee's estimate and she suspects it is low; we will firm it up. It does not include dewormer, flea and tick treatment, or vet bills, which come and go, and it does not cover Own and her four children at the farm in Nakhon Pathom.
- Medicine and the vet · Phanu Garden varies Dewormer and flea and tick control every month or two, and vet bills when a cat needs one. Lomloy's hospital stay in October 2026 was 18,776 baht by itself.
Please read before you give
We are not a 501(c)(3), an NGO, or a registered charity. We are the family and friends of Yeepun, making sure the cats and dogs she adopted are cared for and are not a burden on the relatives who took them in when she died.
Here is who does what. Yeepun's sister Mee looks after Phanu Garden in Bangkok; her mother and aunts look after the two kennels in Chiang Rai. They feed the cats, take them to the vet, and spend the money. I run this site and the accounts the gifts arrive in, and I pass the money on to them. When you see a video from a kennel, it is theirs, usually in Thai; the subtitles are mine.
Most people who find this site were sent here by one of us. If you don't know us, please understand that your gift is not tax-deductible and that there is no board or audit. We promise that 100% of what reaches us goes to the animals. Venmo and PromptPay pass on every cent; card payments lose about 3% plus 30 cents to the processor before they reach us, and that is the only deduction, ever. Card gifts run through a Stripe account held in my own name for the cats, so the receipt comes from "Julaluck, for the cats" and your card statement will say JULALUCK CATS. When I'm at the kennels I post photos of what the money became on the updates page. But if you would rather give to an established animal welfare organization, we understand completely, and we'd rather you did that than feel uneasy.
Gifts are one-time, in whatever amount you choose, and nothing is sold or shipped. If you change your mind, email notefortom@gmail.com within 30 days and we will refund it.
Thank you.
