Carole Baskin From ‘Tiger King’ Is Selling ‘Cool Cats & Kittens’ Face Masks

Much as I struggle to remember a time when "coronavirus" wasn't a phrase that I read every five minutes on the internet, I also cannot remember a time before Tiger King.

And, with the meteoric rise of Carole Baskin's face masks, it doesn't appear like Tiger King is going anywhere in a hurry.

With the CDC now apparently advising certain people to wear facemasks when outdoors on their website, and with more and more people choosing to wear them, many companies have begun production of face masks.

And, if you're going to get one, why wouldn't you get a Tiger King-themed mask?

The Carole Baskin range of facemasks have her catchphrase, "Hey all you cool cats and kittens", written across the front and come in either plain black or leopard print.

Apparently, a portion of the money spent on these exclusive masks will go to help first responders during the Covid-19 pandemic, CNN reports.

In case you were somehow not aware, Ms. Baskin is somewhat passionate about the safety of big cats, which means that a portion of the money garnered from the Carole Baskin range of masks will go to big cat sanctuaries as well.

"SURPRISE!!! Turns out Carole Baskin, owner of Big Cat Rescue, and Netflix’s own Tiger Queen, loved our mask and wanted to collaborate. We bring to you the “Cool Cats” and “Cool Kittens” masks for any Tiger King enthusiast and Big Cat Rescue fan. Portions of proceeds will go towards @bigcatrescue who is a leading advocate for ending the abuse of captive big cats," Trend365 wrote on Instagram.

With over an apparent 64 million views from Netflix members, Tiger King has been dominating the internet as it seems no one can get enough of the shows general carnage!

And, with viewing figures like that, it is no surprise that companies are cashing in on Tiger King.

Whether you're a fan of Tiger King or not, it is important to stay safe at these times, and so it is good to see a portion of the profits go to good causes.

It's hard to imagine that these things won't sell like hotcakes! I can't see myself picking one up personally if I'm honest, but are you tempted? Let me know if so in the comments below!
