An animal lover stealthily slipped $8,000 in cash into a donation box at the Pasadena Humane Society & SPCA this week.
Staff noticed the large donation, in the form of a pile of crisp new $20 bills at about 11 a.m. Wednesday in a donation box at the organization’s Neely Cat Center on Raymond Avenue, organization spokeswoman Jamie Holeman told the San Gabriel Valley Tribune Thursday.
“This was a wonderful surprise,” she said. “The donation is going to really help us.”
The philanthropist didn’t stick around to accept any accolades, she said.
Holeman said the shelter takes in 12,000 animals every year.
“This $8,000 donation is going to go a long away to provide help, food and shelter for the critters that we have in our care,” she said.
