A word on Crypto
Land of Kittens is not currently affiliated with any crypto wallets. If anyone gives you a wallet address claiming to be ran by Land of Kittens, please consider this to be a scam and avoid sending any currency to it.
If we see a popular demand for crypto based donations, we may reconsider registering wallets in the future.
