Meet 10-Year-Old Evan, Who Donates Everything He Can To Help Cats

This kid is probably the best human being on the planet.
 
Evan loves cats. After he adopted his own kitty, Macha, from City Kitties rescue in Philadelphia, he wanted to find a way to continue to help the cats they were rescuing. He was only 7-years-old, but he saved his allowance money for several months and donated $46.75 to the charity.
 
At aged 9, Evan set up a sidewalk stand to sell figs from his family's tree to help raise more money in Calvin's name (a rescue cat from City Kitties), raising $86, which he donated to City Kitties to help save abandoned kitties from danger .
 
In 2012, Evan's parents matched his donation for a total donation of $220. People all over the country have been inspired by Evan through Facebook and the City Kitties blog, as well as more recently on Reddit and Huffington Post. Many have donated to City Kitties or to their own local rescues to, as Evan would say, "save abandoned kitties from danger!"
