Wouldn't that be the day? A day when there are no unwanted kittens -- or any unwanted animal for that matter -- and we didn't have to sell raffle tickets to raise money to spay and neuter cats. Until that day, I'll continue helping out with Catalyst for Cats, a Santa Barbara County-based organization dedicated to making every cat a wanted cat. I use my writing skills to help with publicity.
Catalyst is hosting its annual "Cat's Meow Raffle" on Oct. 16, which happens to be National Feral Cat, at Coffee Cat, located at 1201 Anacapa St. in downtown Santa Barbara. The fun begins at 6 p.m.
Tickets are $5 each or $30 for a book of 7 tickets. Call Belinda Burns at (805) 688-6359 for tickets. If you aren't the gambling type, you can go ahead and send a donation to Catalyst for Cats, PO Box 30331, Santa Barbara, CA 93130.
Here are the prizes:
*El Rancho Marketplace - Lunch & Wine Picnic for Six at a Santa Ynez Valley Winery
*Historic Upham Hotel - Santa Barbara Midweek Getaway, One Night Stay for 2 People
*Lemos Feed & Pet Supply – Feline Fun Gift Basket
*Cat House Hotel – $50 gift certificate for goods or services at this hotel for felines
*Commissioned Original Painting by Kay Neola McWilliams of your animal - 16” x 20” unframed ($500 value)
On the left is the Catalyst for Cats logo. The adult cat's tipped ear indicates the feline has been "fixed."
National Feral Cat Day is facilitated by Alley Cat Allies, an advocacy group based in Washington, D.C.
