"Every little bit helps save another cat, which is definitely worth it to me."
What's better than playing cat games and helping cats? Nothing. We're definitely biased here but the idea behind the Cozy Cat Jam is pretty rad.
The Cozy Cat Jam is a charity bundle of cat-themed games sold to raise funds for cats in need. And in the past few years, that need has been increasing.
"Cozy Cat Jam exists because it needs to," said Xosh M. Belanger, ENNIE Award winning game designer and organizer of the fundraiser. Alleycats & Aristocats, the beneficiary of the fundraiser, and Belanger's local shelter, has taken on a lot in the past year.
"Alleycats & Aristocats, took in over 120 kittens and paid for the treatment and rehabilitation of a number of sick and injured strays," said Belanger. "Running a no-kill shelter that also does TNR in a three-county area is not cheap, so they always need funds."
So, in comes the Cozy Cat Jam to raise some of those much-needed funds.
"I wanted cozy games with cute and whimsical vibes -- games adults would enjoy but could also play with their kids," said Belanger who also wanted games that could be played in the shelter while visiting rescue cats.
"These games are all TTRPGs - table-top roleplaying games. There are group games, solo games, journaling games, but all of them can be played with pen and paper or as a PDF."
There are 28 games from 25 creators included in the bundle for $10. The fundraiser ends on Sept. 9. Please feel free to support the shelter beyond that date here.
