Spencer, the founder of SB Mowing, creates a GoFundMe campaign to keep Edgar & Ivy’s Cat Sanctuary afloat and running!
The popular TikToker, Spencer, runs a channel called SB Mowing and has around 13 million followers on the platform.
He runs a YouTube channel as well where he posts videos of himself mowing overgrown lawns in different neighborhoods for free.
The social media star recently used his 15 million-strong following to raise donations for a wounded cat and a shelter in South Texas.

In February this year, when he was mowing the lawn of a Corpus Christi neighborhood in Texas, he found a tabby cat that was injured with multiple puncture wounds from a probable fight with another cat or dog.
Spencer named the cat on his channel, Esbee, and this heartwarming story was reported by KIIITV.
Despite calling multiple rescue facilities in the area, only one of them responded and accepted the wounded animal.
Director Anissa Beal of Edgar and Ivy’s Cat Sanctuary pointed out that Esbee would not have lived more than 48 hours and would have died from sepsis if left untreated.
Spencer was impressed with Beal’s dedication and passion for helping animals and gave her all the cash he had at that time, $100, as a thank-you gesture.
Beal also revealed her cat sanctuary was on the verge of shutting down by this year’s end as she was unable to make ends meet.
Spencer explained to her that he has millions of followers on social media and he will start a GoFundMe page for her shelter while expecting to raise around $10,000 to help her.
On the same day, he uploaded a video, informing and urging his followers to donate to the struggling cat sanctuary along with links to the GoFundMe.
Beal was grateful for the $100 donated by Spencer and forgot about the incident.
To everyone’s disbelief, funds to the tune of $190,000 were donated on the page and the rescue also received four truckloads worth of supplies.
Edgar and Ivy’s Cat Sanctuary was rescued from its financial crisis due to the staggering donations, and Beal told My Antonio, “He (Spencer) saved us.”
She was desperate and praying for a miracle when Spencer showed up, and thanks to him, not only was Esbee’s life saved, but the shelter too, shall continue its noble mission of rescuing cats.
The grateful woman has decided to name the sanctuary’s new building in the name of Spencer and it is now known as The SB Mowing Wellness and Recovery Center (for cats).
Edgar and Ivy’s has rescued 700 cats after receiving the donation from the GoFundMe page. Spencer, on the other hand, was thankful for the support shown by his community.
Meanwhile, Esbee has completely healed and is up for adoption, but Beal will carefully consider who gets to adopt him.
One man decides to use his community on social media for a good cause, and a circle of goodness is formed, resulting in the rescue of 700 cats.
