While most fashion designers are celebrating Valentine’s Day, Brynn Capella has turned her attention to a more serious cause. Until the end of the month the Chicago native will donate 50% of the profits from online sales to the Tree House Humane Society.
The Tree House Humane Society is a Chicago-based charity which cares for the city’s cats. The group rescues ill and injured stray cats, and rehabilitates them to get them ready for new homes. The cageless Illinois shelter has a no kill policy, and a commitment to spaying and neutering its animals to stem the tide of unwanted pets.
However the benefits of spaying and neutering go beyond controlling the pet population, as Capella knows all too well. In 2008 her cat Cher was diagnosed with breast cancer. She lost her beloved kitty two weeks later. In her search for answers she discovered that spaying and neutering helps prevent breast cancer cases in dogs and cats. In fact, the risk decreases by 91% if an animal is spayed before she first goes on heat.
Brynn Capella’s donation to the Tree House Humane Society is well timed, as February is spay and neuter month. She hopes that her charitable promotion will raise awareness of this vital link amongst pet owners, as well as helping the Tree House Humane Society continue their vital work.
