> The Mission - The cats were getting attention, they were being funny, and enough people seemed to like them.  What next?  Commercialize?  Perhaps...  The cats don't have that large of egos, though...  But, if they could generate some money, maybe they could help out some of their brethren. 

     Both Sam and Maze are rescued cats, Sam from the shelter right here in Lafayette and Maze from a shelter in Ohio.  So, Bids decided that if he could commercialize his work at all, he would help out the animals who haven't quite been lucky enough to get rescued themselves. 

     Bids Art, LLC was then formed with the purpose of creating revenue to support various animal-related causes as well as other worthy causes.  At least 20% of proceeds are donated to charities.  Some products also help out other worthy causes, so not all 20% of every product's proceeds go to animal-related causes (see the description of the product to see where the donations go).
