CHARLOTTE, N.C.—SeaYu Enterprises has signed on as a corporate sponsor of Romeo the Cat, a new online fundraising effort for animal welfare and rescue.

Romeo the Cat (www.romeothecat.com) chooses a new animal welfare organization each month to receive the funds raised via the corporate sponsors and individual donations made by members of the Romeo the Cat community. Monthly donation recipients are selected from submissions made by www.RomeotheCat.com readers. May’s donation recipient is the Beaufort Community Cat Project in Beaufort, N.C. (www.beaufortcats.org).

Since February, Romeo the Cat has raised more than $14,000 for animal welfare organizations. All money raised goes directly to the selected non-profits. Romeo the Cat raises awareness and generates donations via Twitter, Facebook, www.romeothecat.com and other social media outlets. Sponsors agree to contribute a specified amount each month to the beneficiary organization.

“Supporting shelters and animal welfare organizations is near and dear to the heart of our company,” said Dennis Seaman, vice Ppesident of sales and marketing for SeaYu Enterprises. “We are very pleased to be able to throw our support behind such a wonderful cause.”
