deadmau5 helped cover the care costs for 27 rescued cats and kittens after seeing a local shelter’s plea for support on Instagram.
The animals had been removed from a property near Oakville, Ontario, and needed medical treatment, vaccinations, and ongoing care. The shelter said the electronic music producer donated $30,000, helping ease the cost of getting the cats stabilized and ready for adoption.
After the donation, deadmau5 also turned to his own Instagram audience for help naming the cats and finding them permanent homes. The moment added a more personal layer to the story, showing how quickly a public post can turn into real support for animals in need.
