A warm charity evening in support of cats with special health needs
A short registration helps us estimate the number of guests and prepare enough materials — and doesn’t commit you to attending.
WHY WE’RE GATHERING:
Cats with health conditions are often overlooked: it is harder for them to find a home, and their diagnoses are surrounded by myths and fears. We, the volunteers, want to change this injustice because we know that these cats, like all others, simply want to be loved — and they need our help.
There are many ways to help. Come hear their stories, see photos and videos, learn something new, buy a dessert or enjoy a tasty drink.
We want every guest to leave the gathering with a warm feeling: “Today, I became part of something good.” We can’t wait to see you!
MEET THE CATS
The guardians will show presentations and answer questions. The cats themselves will stay at home, in their familiar and calm surroundings.
