Why We Give 1% to the Planet (And Why It Matters When You Shop)

When you buy a cat hoodie or a graphic tee, you're making a choice. Not just about what to wear — but about who you want to support. At Cat-in-a-Box, we built our brand around two things: a deep love of cats, and a commitment to leaving the planet better than we found it.

That's why we're proud members of 1% for the Planet — a global network of businesses that give at least 1% of annual revenue to environmental nonprofits.

What Is 1% for the Planet?

1% for the Planet is a nonprofit organization that connects businesses and individuals with vetted environmental partners. Members commit to donating 1% of their annual sales — not profits, sales — to approved environmental causes. Since 2002, the network has directed over $600 million to environmental nonprofits worldwide.

It's a simple idea with a real impact: businesses that care, giving to organizations that act.

Why We Joined

Cat-in-a-Box started as a father-and-son project. We love cats. We love the outdoors. And we believe that if you're going to build a brand, it should stand for something beyond the product.

Cats and the natural world are deeply connected — and so are we. Joining 1% for the Planet was a natural extension of who we are and what we care about.

What It Means When You Shop With Us

Every time you buy a cat tee or a cat hoodie from Cat-in-a-Box, 1% of that sale goes to environmental causes. You're not just getting apparel you love — you're participating in something bigger.

For eco-conscious shoppers, that matters. You want to know that your dollars are doing more than filling a warehouse. With Cat-in-a-Box, they are.

Sustainable Apparel Starts With Intentional Choices

We're not just talking about giving back — we're also thinking about how our products are made and how long they last. We design apparel meant to be worn, loved, and kept — not fast fashion that ends up in a landfill after three washes.

When you invest in quality cat-themed apparel, you're also making a more sustainable choice. Buy less, buy better, wear it forever.
