There seems to be a lot of questions about why I'm promoting Ani on Zazzle and where the profits will go.
The reason WHY I've put Ani on Zazzle is because I have been asked in comments over and over for his picture. Since I am an artist and use Zazzle for my artwork, it was an easy move for me to use Zazzle to allow Ani's friends to purchase any item with his picture on it that they might like. If you are not interested in this, then please don't be offended by Ani's friends that would like something like this. It is only an option for those that wish to visit Zazzle.
As for where the profits will go.......If you haven't figured it out by now, I am not a rich person. I work from home as a free lance artist and my husband is a very hard working restaurant assistant manager. We have two children, five cats, fish and a very large dog. Since Ani came into my life, I have devoted most of my time to his care and letting his friends know about his life. That said, I am donating 10% of the profits from Ani's sales on Zazzle to my local TNR program to promote care, adoption and rescue of all animals. The rest will be going to help me with Anakin's care.
I would like to see Anakin as a symbol of rescue and adoption of the "less then perfect" animal. It would be wonderful if people would see a picture of Ani and think of the love you can get from adopting a pet. By having Ani on Zazzle where somebody might have a mug or a tote with his picture on it and somebody ask about it and is told his story.....I hope to bring more understanding to people about Ani and others out there like him.
Meet Anakin! Ani is a two legged cat, born without a pelvis or back legs but that doesn't stop him. He is full of love & life! My family and I rescued Anakin and I am caring for him. My family and I are lifelong animal lovers and will give Ani the absolute best possible home, love and care. I post updates, photos and videos of Anakin on his website, Facebook page, Twitter, YouTube and other online sites.

Follow Anakin The Two Legged Cat on,
I say good for you!! This kitty is so special and he may need more attention and vet visits than a regular kitten would. Anything you (or we) can do to help him, I say go for it. I fully intend to purchase something because Ani is so precious and just seeing him play makes me smile. He also looks similar to two of my cats so that makes him even more cute to me. Also, he is inspiring because he doesn't know he has a handicap. He just does his kitten stuff like normal. I find that amazing!!
