From the begining Frazzled Cat has always supported charities, apart from producing designs for the charity sector, Frazzle also offers to produce an image free of charge to a selected charity each year, this has always been a private matter which we do not use for publicity purposes. At Christmas 2004 Frazzle decided to do something a little different after reading several newspaper stories about pieces of toast that resembled Mother Teresa or buns resembling Elvis etc, so we thought what about a totally unique cornflake, it's unique because it resembles nothing except a cornflake! We decided to auction on Ebay and give the funds to the Dogs Trust in Leeds where we obtained our much loved friend Dino who sadly died a couple of years ago. Soon after we started getting emails from people as far afield as South Africa, Canada and Australia, it had attracted worldwide attention, bids had reached £60 with expectations that it may reach almost £1000 when without warning Ebay cancelled the auction, people were furious with Ebay and we received three different explanations as to why it was cancelled, a newspaper reporter received a different explantion to ours, so why it was cancelled was a mystery which is unlikely ever to be solved, what is for sure is that the Dogs Trust in Leeds were deprived of much needed funds at a time of year when they need money the most
