Stoats and Papaya are from Multnomah County Animal Services and were being fostered by a local Portland citizen. They received a $50 EZRA Foundation mini-grant and are available for adoption in the Portland area! These two have since been adopted :) If you are inspired, please consider applying for a mini-grant and fostering your own kitty!

We officially filed on August 3, 2024, which is Ezra's birthday, and we have now received 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status. All donations from August 3, 2024 and on are tax-deductible. Thank you all so much for the outpouring of support.
We are SO excited to be raising money (and awareness) in order to formally register EZRA Foundation as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. We have secured wonderful board members and now we are seeking funds to cover all associated costs with forming a nonprofit. With nonprofit status, we will be able to accept tax-deductible donations as well as seek grants for projects that further the EZRA Foundation's mission. We aim to officially file by August 3, 2024, which is Ezra's birthday.
Printed in the USA using Greenerprinter services. Not suitable for bumper stickers/outside use, but darn if these aren't sustainable! Earnings from these stickers head straight to the EZRA foundation account for future efforts. Follow the link here to purchase one! Keep an eye on the Buy Shit tab for more saucy stickers coming soon.
Thank You from the Buns & Donation Update!
We were so grateful for the excitement and support around these buns trying fresh foods for (very likely) the first time in their lives. While Snowdrop was slow to warm to the strange textures and smells, she has become an absolute herb fiend over the past few days. She has been hopping in excitement when we come up to her and she is regularly enjoying cilantro, parsley, and dill. She has also gotten very interested in kale and even nibbled some apple! Strawberry is an a p p l e g i r l. She loves them, she can't enough of them! Because you were all so generous, we were able to freely buy tons of varied and high-quality produce. It was a pleasure to find that no matter how frivolous we thought we were... these bunnies are cheap dates! They are still working through their bounty like little lushes with plenty to still go. As a result, we are so excited to foot the comparatively tiny veg bill and pass on all of the donations to Beagle Freedom Project. We decided to cover the cost of vegetables and were able to donate all funds, $115, to the Beagle Freedom Project. Snowdrop is available for adoption (read about her here) and Strawberry's obituary can be found here. The Pig Show was such a wonderful experience and success! We received so many amazing art donations and raised a total of $578. The $578 raised from the art sales and donations were split evenly and led to $289 in donations were made to each of two organizations: 1) a local Farm Animal Sanctuary in Portland, OR and 2) The Open Sanctuary Project.
I was thrilled by the turnout and that so many people brought pig art home. Thank you to the artists, pig stewards, friends, families, far away donors, and Piers at Dorsa Brevia for making this such a successful and wonderful event. We are so grateful we were able to squeeze into Dorsa Brevia, as it has since closed. |
