A drunken raccoon from the USA helped the shelter raise almost 300 thousand dollars (24.8 million rubles).
In the year 2025, a mustachioed hooligan sneaks into a liquor store in Virginia, breaks a few bottles, drinks heavily and falls right to sleep in the bathroom. The manager found him in this condition and turned him over to animal control.
The story immediately went viral, and the raccoon became a local mascot. The receiver released merchandise with his image, and T-shirts with mugs sold out immediately.
Usually the organization collects no more than 20 thousand dollars (1.6 million rubles) a year, but thanks to the soft star they managed to get almost 300 thousand (24.8 million rubles). The money will be directed to closed-circuit cameras and treatment of injured animals.
