Petty, Purr-fect, and Proud: Williston North Dakota’s Funniest Valentine’s Fundraiser Is Here

Valentine’s Day has a reputation problem. Every February, it struts in wearing pink, clutching roses, and insisting everyone be wildly in love or at least pretend to be on social media. But let’s be honest—sometimes Valentine’s Day isn’t about romance. Sometimes it’s about closure. Glorious, petty, deeply satisfying closure.

Enter Mondak Animal Rescue, who clearly understood the assignment this year and said, “What if healing… but make it hilarious?”

Their Valentine’s Day fundraiser offers two options that speak directly to the heart—mostly the part of the heart that’s still mad about something.

Cat RetriPOOtion: Because Some Names Belong at the Bottom of the Litter Box

For just $5, Mondak will write any name you want on the bottom of a litter box pan. Ex? Frenemy? Student loans? Your alarm clock? That coworker who “just circles back”? No judgment here. Once the name is written, the cats will do what cats have been doing confidently for centuries. They’ll take care of the rest. It’s kitty karma in its purest form, and honestly, probably cheaper than therapy.

Tear My Heart Out: Let the Dogs Do What Your Ex Already Did

Say hello to Tear My Heart Out, the fundraiser that understands some hearts were simply meant to be destroyed. For $5, Mondak writes a name on a plush heart toy and hands it over to their shelter dogs, who will enthusiastically chew it, shake it, and absolutely annihilate it. It’s excellent enrichment for the dogs and deeply therapeutic for you. Everyone wins. Especially the dogs.

Still can’t decide? Mondak highly recommends the COMBO Promo—because why choose when you can have double the payback? For $10, you get both options: cat justice and dog-fueled destruction. Double the closure. Double the satisfaction.

The action happens February 10–14, and yes, it’ll all be recorded and shared on Facebook and TikTok. That means you can watch your submission receive the justice it deserves, possibly multiple times, possibly with popcorn.

All proceeds support the animals at Mondak Animal Rescue in Williston, proving once and for all that healing hearts and helping paws really does just make sense. This Valentine’s Day, skip the awkward dinner reservations and give yourself the gift of laughter, closure, and a very smug cat.
