From 18th of February until 10th of March 2019 GameMistress ran a fundraising campaign for Cats Protection Cherwell and raised 680 GBP to help cats in the UK.
Cats Protection Cherwell
Cats Protection Cherwell is the national cat welfare charity’s regional rescue serving the Oxfordshire towns of Bicester, Banbury and Brackley.
Cat Protection saves cats from bad situations in the following manner:
- Capture and save cats that are in a bad situation
- Take them to the veterinary for health check-up and treatment
- Veterinary also spay/neuters the cat and chips them
- Cat is taken to a loving foster home where they are nourished back to health
- Adopters are found for the cat
- Cat goes to a loving forever-home.
Here’s a video of what Cats Protection does for cats:

Fundraising Campaigns on GameMistress
For GameMistress cats play an important part of her life as well as her stream. She has 5 rescue cats running about in and around her house which she also streams. These cats have also made her stream grow, for cats are part of her streams. Cats have their own furniture and camera position in her stream and she gets vividly visited by her cats. GameMistress is also a foster home for many cats in her country Norway.
Her emotes are also based upon her cats, so you will find her heart emote (t1) with Nusse on it, Tiger the yellow cat (t3) and Kira and Nusse heart emote (t2). Everything about her stream is based around her cats and a loving and caring community.
She decided in 2019 that she wanted to give back to the cats and help the cats through fundraising on her streams. This means she will run multiple fundraisers throughout the entire year. On top of that she has decided that 20% of her total revenue will be donated to a charity of choice. These charities will change every month. The fundraisers are aside from that and occur every 3 months for usually a 2-week period.
GameMistress also has revenue from merchandise for her channel. Her emotes and other artwork is model for the various cups and clothes among other things that are sold on Zazzle and RedBubble.
Fundraising Results
For the Cats Protection Cherwell she raised a total of 680 GBP (which is approx 900 USD) in a time of 3-weeks. This was originally supposed to be a 2-week fundraising, but was extended because of initial technical website issues.
