How Your Purchase Helps Rescue Cats
At Maison Kitn, every product you buy does more than add style to your wardrobe—it helps save lives. We're proud to support cats in need through our partnership with the Orphan Kitten Club, and we want you to know exactly how your purchase makes a difference.
Our Mission: Fashion That Gives Back
Kitn was born from a simple but powerful idea: transform fashion into a force for good. Founded by Carissa Tozzi, our brand was created out of a deep commitment to helping cats in need and the incredible people who rescue them.
While not everyone can foster or adopt, we all have the power to make an impact. With a background in storytelling and design, Carissa created Kitn as a way to give back—turning every purchase into support for vulnerable felines who need it most.
Meet Our Partner: Orphan Kitten Club
We're honored to support the Orphan Kitten Club, a remarkable 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to saving the tiniest and most vulnerable felines.
Founded by kitten rescuer Hannah Shaw (The Kitten Lady), the Orphan Kitten Club provides lifesaving care for newborn and orphaned kittens who require around-the-clock attention and would otherwise have nowhere to turn.
Through innovative programs and unwavering advocacy, the organization provides:
🏥 Medical treatment for sick and injured kittens
🏠 Foster care and safe homes
💕 Second chances for kittens who need them most
📚 Education and resources for the rescue community
Hannah Shaw & Andrew Marttila: A Dynamic Duo for Cats
Hannah Shaw and her husband, professional cat photographer Andrew Marttila, have made cats their life's work. Together, they rescue and rehabilitate neonatal kittens, educate the public on cat and kitten care, and capture our feline friends' unique personalities through writing and photography.
The couple also co-authored Cats of the World, a stunning book that takes readers on a journey to thirty countries with hundreds of photos and stories of cats from every corner of the world. It's a beautiful celebration of feline diversity and the universal bond between humans and cats.
How Your Purchase Makes a Difference
Here's exactly how it works:
For every t-shirt sold on maisonkitn.com, we donate $1.00 to the Orphan Kitten Club.
It's that simple and transparent:
• Purchase 1 t-shirt = $1.00 donated
• Purchase 3 t-shirts = $3.00 donated
• Purchase 5 t-shirts = $5.00 donated
The donation is tied to each individual product sold—not to profits or proceeds in general—so the contribution amount is always clear and specific. There's no maximum cap on donations, which means every single purchase continues to make an impact.
Your Impact in Action
Every dollar donated helps fund:
🍼 Food and formula for orphaned kittens who need round-the-clock feeding
💊 Medical care including vaccinations, treatments, and emergency interventions
🛏️ Safe shelter and foster supplies for vulnerable kittens
📢 Advocacy programs that save more lives through education and awareness
These aren't just numbers—they're real kittens getting real second chances. Kittens who might not have survived without the care provided by organizations like the Orphan Kitten Club.
Sustainable Fashion, Meaningful Impact
We believe doing good extends beyond charitable giving. That's why every Maison Kitn product is made to order, reducing waste and overproduction. When you order from us, your item is printed specifically for you—minimizing our environmental footprint while maximizing our impact for cats in need.
Transparency Matters
We're committed to complete transparency about our charitable contributions. We maintain a written agreement with the Orphan Kitten Club authorizing the use of their name and setting forth the terms of our donations. We provide periodic updates regarding total donations made and publish final contribution amounts at the close of each promotional campaign.
You can read our full Designed to Give Back policy for complete details about our charitable commitment.
