The Pidgie Fund: Saving the World One Pet at a Tim

The Pidgie fund was started December 2005 by Wendy C. Allen. We are a non-profit group saving the world one pet at a time. All earnings from these products are used to buy food and supplies for pets in need and shelter animals in the Southern Maine area. To date The Pidgie Fund has helped more than 500 animals ranging from house pets, to farm animals, to wildlife, including mammals, birds, reptiles, fish, mollusks, and amphibians.

The Pidgie fund was named in memory of my long time friend and companion: Pidgie, a Rock Dove or City Pigeon who was found as a day old chick laying in the middle of the road. He was quickly adopted by my 2-month-old kitten: Utopia, and the 2 of them grew up playing together and went on to become fast friends. The 2 of them were my own companions.

I joined the Internet that same month of August 1997. In the years that have passed I became known as the online celebrity known as EelKat. As my Internet fans all knew, whenever I went online, I was never alone, but always in the company of a little gray bird, who either was sitting on the computer, on my head, or running across the keyboard biting my fingers. In all my years online, I was never to use the computer without him at my side. It seemed like I’ve had Pidgie forever. On December 10, 2005 my long time posting buddy died. He’d been my constant companion for many years and he shall not pass on unforgotten.

Pidgie was not Utopia's only pet bird. My gentle Siamese cat also had 3 pet Budgies.

The Pidgie Fund was created December 11, 2005 in memory of my beloved Pidgie and is run by me and Pidgie's Siamese Cat companion Utopia. The original Website and CafePress shop opened later that week, and has over the last 2 years expanded greatly. Today we move on to the latest expansion: A Zazzle Gallery.

This Zazzle gallery was started on April 9, 2007. All products designed, photos taken, and art painted/drawn by Wendy C. Allen. More products well continue to be added as time goes by.
