ShelterPets is a CNFT Project that is looking to improve the lives of pets all over the world. Their goal is to onboard charities and shelters to Cardano to allow for news way to receive financial donations and support. They also plan to provide financial support to these organizations through revenue generated through their NFT sales and development of other Blockchain related assets, something they have been really active with, as you can see in their GitHub commits.

Their initial release consists of 10,000 hand drawn animal NFTs, with 5 cat and 5 dog breeds each with variable items and traits. The goal of this project is to raise over 250,000 ADA for animal driven charities, with 50% of all revenue to charity, and provide unique pieces of art to their supporters.

Roadmap:
