Well, I've heard of kids having birthday parties with dog/cat themes and instead (or in addition to) bringing them a present, they ask guests to make a donation of dog/cat food, dog/cat toys or other necessities to their local animal shelter.

If I got an invitation like that to a kid's party, I'd be delighted to do that!

That is a cute ideal.
