Every day, brands make promises about āgiving back.ā But at Gilu, giving back isnāt a marketing lineāitās the foundation of who we are
We created Gilu to do more than sell cute shirts and mugs. We built it to fund rescue efforts, educate cat lovers, and support a larger missionāthe mission of GiluFunds.
Hereās how every Gilu purchase becomes a force for good š¾
šø 15% of Every Sale Supports Rescue Work
Thatās not a campaign. Itās not āup toā a certain percentage. Itās a commitment: 15% of every single purchase goes directly to GiluFundsāour nonprofit platform dedicated to reducing the stray and feral cat population in a humane, sustainable way.
Your purchase helps fund:
- Emergency veterinary careĀ
- Spay/neuter campaigns through the FAN ProgramĀ
- Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return (TNVR) supplies and transportĀ
- Outreach and education in underserved communities

š§ Your Purchase Supports a Long-Term SolutionāNot a Quick Fix
The stray and feral cat crisis isnāt going to be solved with one-time rescues or feel-good moments. It requires a strategic, sustained effortāand thatās exactly what your Gilu purchase fuels through our nonprofit arm, GiluFunds.
Weāre not just here to help cats today. Weāre building a future where every cat has the chance to live a safe, healthy, and respected life. Our approach is built on three essential pillars:
š§” 1. Funding
We donāt rely on seasonal fundraising campaigns or emergency appeals alone. Through GiluFunds and our FAN (Feline Assistance Network) platform, we provide consistent financial support to rescuers, trappers, fosters, and vet teams doing lifesaving work.
That includes:
- TNVR campaigns in high-risk areasĀ
- Emergency medical careĀ
- Long-term colony management
š 2. Education
Solving this crisis also requires changing public perception. Many people donāt understand the difference between stray and feral cats, or how returning a āfriendlyā cat to the street puts it in danger.
We create content, toolkits, and campaigns to empower communities with the knowledge they need to protect cats and prevent suffering.
Your purchase helps fund the creation and distribution of these educational resourcesāand ensures more people are prepared to act with compassion and confidence.
āļø 3. Legislation
Without stronger laws, rescues will always be one step behind. We advocate for local and state policy changes that support:
- TNVR as a protected practiceĀ
- Access to low-cost spay/neuter programsĀ
- Protections for community cats and their caretakersĀ
- Penalties for abandonment
Every shirt, mug, or sticker you buy helps move this legislative work forward. Youāre helping change not just the presentābut the system.
š Full TransparencyāAlways
Letās be real: many brands say they ādonate to shelters,ā but they rarely tell you which ones, how much, or what was actually done with the money.
We do it differently.
Youāll always be able to track:
-
- Active campaigns through our FAN Campaign HubĀ
- Rescue updates via our social media channelsĀ
- Where every GiluFunds dollar goes via monthly impact reports
We donāt just talk about impact. We show it.

š± Education Built Into Every Product
Every item in the Gilu shop is more than just a productāitās an educational tool. Each piece includes a QR code linking to real information on:
- TNVRĀ
- Kitten SeasonĀ

- How to help friendly or abandoned cats
Because the people who love cats deserve to be empowered to help them, too.

- A world where cats arenāt born just to sufferĀ
