I’m donating 40% of the proceeds from sales of my maneki neko amigurumi to earthquake and tsunami relief for Japan. They are all available in my Etsy shop, luckycatcrochet, for $25 each.
Here are some other maneki neko and kitty items I found on Etsy that are donating proceeds to earthquake and tsunami relief.
Lucky Cat Pincushion – $25 from blushful
Maneki Neko Copper Necklace – $33 from RubyStudios
Needle Felted Beckoning Cat – $20 from MilePost13
Large Needle Felted Beckoning Cat – $32 from MilePost13
Maneki Neko Photo – $7.10 from Neus
Lucky Maneki Kitty in Golden Yellow – $8.88 from sweettidings
Felted Ramen Kitty – $16 from MilePost13
Cat Block Print Card – $8 from chasingcloudstudio
Black Cat Gadget Pocket – $22 from HappySunnySmiles
Neko Kitty – $10 from Needings
The amigurumi are too cute! I crochet as well, and I think most yarnworkers are cat lovers.
I also have a product to benefit the animals of Japan that’s available on Etsy. I offer hand-tinted linoleum block-printed prints on paper and t-shirts that were inspired by my love of Japanese wood block prints. I will donate half of the selling price to Animal Refuge Kansai from sales of my t-shirts and framed block prints sold in a set or individually.
Here’s the link to my blog post, which includes links to my Etsy site: http://portraitsofanimals.wordpress.com/2011/03/15/we-really-are-helping-our-friends-in-japan/
We really do make a difference this way!

I love your block prints! I’d like to get one of them eventually to go on the cat wall I’m planning. :)
I’m not sure if you saw it, but I mentioned your work a couple weeks ago here:
