Thank you for taking the time to explain everything
A lot of us were waiting because we really care about solana:Aw5SxKyYhXFdZj2BHCqs11UaV5ohwpFQjauB9jFhpump and @arcticfoxdaily
Donated $123,000 so far is already something huge, and this can become something really positive for the foxes.
We are here to support Apple and the mission 🦊🍏
I know a lot of you have been waiting for my response regarding the promised crypto donations to Arctic Fox Daily…
I’m still admittedly very naïve to this entire world, but, I’m learning that this space tends to move very fast. I’ve been trying my best to balance my busiest time of year for wildlife rehab with taking the time to properly process and decide how to respond to all of this. Especially because I’m honestly starting to feel like - because of the little fox who became the face behind everything - this may actually have the potential to turn into something very unique and positive within this niche space.
So, apologies that it took me a few days to finally sit down and film the detailed and transparent response that I felt this deserved!
Here it is. 🦊🍏
#applethefox
there are here a few important things to consider:
-Kim JUST announced she received the fees from $Apple
-Alon/Leap might (really likely) post about it
-We are about to take the first place on the charity leaderboard.
The announcement our new friends from the crypto world have been waiting on:
📣 Arctic Fox Daily Wildlife Rescue has officially received the funds that have been generated thus far through the Pump Fun x Donate GG collaboration.
This feels like such a surreal update to type, because this deposit of $150,000 that just hit our sanctuary’s bank account is going to be incredibly impactful for our mission.
Over the past several weeks, an orphaned Red fox I took in, named Apple, captured the attention of people far beyond our usual audience, and somehow that attention grew into support for our rescue from an entirely different corner of the internet than I ever expected.
What started with Apple’s story going viral ultimately introduced thousands of new people to Arctic Fox Daily, our mission, and the animals who call this place home. To every person who played a role in that - primarily through the lovely $Apple community, and also through other groups and communities rallying around our rescue, sharing our content, asking questions, donating directly, or simply cheering us on with encouraging words - thank you!
I would also like to thank @leap_xyz and the teams at @donatedotgg and @Pumpfun for the work that went into making this collaboration happen.
As someone who was learning the bare minimum about this world in real time, I know I probably wasn’t always the easiest beneficiary to work with - I asked a lot of questions, to say the least. So, I appreciate the patience, communication, and effort that went into getting this across the finish line! Because of it, real animals WILL directly benefit. And in addition, I genuinely believe MANY other nonprofits will benefit as well; it’s truthfully a brilliant, niche business idea, and I’m grateful that Arctic Fox Daily has been given the opportunity to be a part of it.
I also want to thank the people who chose patience, kindness, and grace throughout this process. This was a brand new collaboration with a lot of moving pieces behind the scenes, and there were plenty of questions that I didn’t always have answers to - nor can I keep up with the influx of messages the way I wish I could, especially during baby wildlife season. The people who continued to be supportive while allowing things to unfold properly have my most sincere appreciation. 🙏🏼
I want to be careful not to make promises about specific outcomes, because wildlife rescue, sadly, doesn’t work that way. Animals don’t always cooperate with our plans, every day with Apple is a gift, and treatment does not come with guarantees. But, what I CAN say is this:
Options that may have once been out of reach until a fundraiser goal was met are now on the table. 🍏🧠
If Apple’s veterinary neurology team ultimately determines that she is an appropriate candidate for neurosurgery, the conversation will not have to pause just because funding is not yet available. In a case where time matters as much as it does with these sensitive hydrocephalic patients, that is an incredible gift. Whether surgery ultimately becomes part of her story or not, knowing that financial limits no longer have to dictate that conversation is something we do not take for granted.
Beyond Apple, these funds represent opportunity! Opportunity to improve and maintain our facility, to ultimately expand what we are capable of doing, and to help animals that have not even arrived here yet. I am so excited to put that support to work!
Though I am certainly not savvy to the world of crypto logistics, I do know that those of you who participated in this did not have to purchase a meme coin that our rescue was selected to benefit from. So, to our new friends in the crypto world who did, thank you for being part of this! Thank you for taking a chance on #Applethefox and, in the process, helping our entire organization! This has been one of the most unexpected partnerships I’ve ever witnessed unfold, and I’m excited to see where it goes from here. 🫶🏼

🍏🧠🩻 This is likely the most historically significant video I’ve published on our platforms yet:
Reviewing Apple the orphaned Red fox kit’s MRI findings with veterinary neurosurgeon, Dr. Scanlon.
After you watch, I’d truly love to hear your thoughts!

🍏 Thank you for believing in #Applethefox, and thank you for believing in the bigger mission behind her.
$apple is prepping for her MRI today!
Apple is currently under anesthesia and Kim is giving us updates when she gets the MRI done
Will keep everyone updated
https://t.co/z1koSIsEns
The $apple community is the strongest out there
Kim has stated she has been in contact with Leap and she should be getting the funds soon!
150k donated
#Applethefox has had an eventful weekend. 😅
In true “Apple gets excited and runs around occasionally bonking into things” fashion, she somehow managed to bonk herself hard enough on something to leave a tiny little mark on her head. 🤦🏼♀️
She’s completely fine and the little mark is healing well (hence the scabbing that honestly looks worse than the original little mark itself), but her ego is slightly damaged.
I told her not to worry, though, because you guys wouldn’t judge her. We all have clumsy days sometimes, right? 🤭
🍎🦊 We’ve officially surpassed $150,000 in donations!
The only animal on pumpfun to do so!
The $Apple community continues to support Apple and we wish her the best of luck in her upcoming MRI
@donategg@arcticfoxdaily
Good Morning $Apple!
We are still looking great at these levels, We are still hopeful that Kim will receive the fees we have accumulated for her very soon.
We still have lots to look forward to!
Let's keep hoping for the best for Apple and wishing her the best of luck on her upcoming MRI!
Huge News for Apple!
Apple finally has her MRI scheduled for the end of the month, the whole Community has been eagerly waiting for this good news!
We are also so close to hitting a total of $150,000 in Donations!
We are still patiently waiting for Kim to receive it, it should be anytime soon!
#AppleTheFox
🍏🧠 Especially after Sharpie’s passing, Apple has become quite attached to this fox stuffed animal. She loves curling up next to it in her “den” (crate) to sleep. And what’s interesting is that, unlike the rest of her toys, she never tries to attack or destroy this one when she’s feeling extra ferocious.
I just felt like the internet needed to see this too. So… that is all the context behind these photos. 🥹
Funds for Apple’s MRI were secured through a generous anonymous matching donor last week (thank you so much to everybody who contributed!), so I am now really excited - and admittedly holding my breath at the same time - to share that Apple’s MRI is officially ON THE BOOKS! At the end of this month, we’ll be traveling to meet with our veterinary neurosurgeon again and move forward with Apple’s advanced imaging! This appointment and the confident scheduling of her MRI are diagnostics that YOU GUYS made possible through your support. 🙏🏼✨
An Apple a day…
[we need a series of punch lines I can post video replies to! Finish this sentence for me, please. 🤗]

Baby weasels develop fast once the kits start eating solids! 🥹
…Though, the first few weeks do, admittedly, drag on f o r e v e r due to how frequently they need feeds and how sensitive their GI tracts are. So milestones like this are always encouraging during rehab; it’s like I can feel myself already becoming slightly more rested. 😅
This infant long-tailed weasel may look like a forever baby because adults usually top out at under half a pound, but don’t let the painfully adorable face fool you - weasels are seriously impressive little predator animals!
They eat a huge amount for their size, provide excellent natural rodent control, and honestly, if one is hanging around your property, there’s a very good chance it’s because the rodent population is growing - or too large already - too. 😅
They are HUGELY beneficial to have around your property!
Also, for those of you who own domestic, outdoor, small prey-type mammals - ESPECIALLY during “baby season” -
if I could tell you one thing to focus on to protect your small animals and to not put our native predator species in a situation to be loathed, it would be this:
Hardware cloth > chicken wire, always, and don’t forget that predators can both fly AND dig in, too. 👏🏼
#wildliferehab #weaselcare #naturalrodentcontrol #predatorproofing
Good Morning $Apple Community!
This fine morning we have established a great floor, as well as formed a community to help support Kim and her animals.
This coin is soon to make history, sitting at the number 2 spot on the https://t.co/3Jtu5u4uKF list.
Can't wait until Kim receives the funds, and we are able to get on track to push this to new all time highs!
An Apple a day keeps the doctor away 🍎🦊
