Interestingly, the NFC-NEKO collection has been positioned for a good cause, asides from the fun, half of the royalties and 5% of the gross proceeds will be contributed to five animal welfare charities picked by humans who care about the felines featured in the collection, in order to ensure that NFC-NEKOs and holders do well in the real world. Maxime Girault, a digital artist who is based in Paris and New York and specializes in illustrations of animals, is the principal designer of each NFC-NEKO.
