Every year, thousands of cats and kittens face challenges that threaten their health and happiness. Many of these animals rely on the kindness of strangers to survive. This Thursday, you have a chance to make a real difference by joining us at Straw Hat Pizza for a special fundraiser. Your support will help provide food, litter, and medical care for the cats and kittens we rescue.
This event is more than just a fundraiser. It’s a community gathering where cat lovers come together to support a cause that saves lives. Whether you’re a long-time supporter or new to our mission, your presence will have a meaningful impact.
Why Your Support Matters
Cats and kittens in need face many obstacles. They often arrive at shelters hungry, sick, or injured. The costs of caring for them add up quickly:
Food: Nutritious meals are essential for recovery and growth.
Litter: Clean, safe litter helps maintain hygiene and comfort.
Medical Expenses: Vaccinations, treatments, and emergency care save lives.
Every dollar raised at the fundraiser goes directly to these essentials. By attending, you help us cover these costs and continue rescuing more cats.
What to Expect at the Fundraiser
The event at Straw Hat Pizza will be a fun and welcoming experience for everyone. Here’s what you can look forward to:
Delicious Pizza: Enjoy a variety of pizzas with friends and family. A portion of every purchase supports the cats.
Meet Fellow Supporters: Connect with other animal lovers who share your passion.
Learn More About Our Work: Volunteers will be on hand to share stories about the cats we’ve helped and how your support makes a difference.
Raffle and Prizes: Enter to win two (2) tickets to Gilroy Gardens, a $160 value. Must be present to win! The name will be drawn at 7:00 pm!
This is a great opportunity to enjoy a meal while supporting a cause close to your heart.
How You Can Help Beyond Attending

Spread the Word: Share the event details with friends and family.

Every action counts and helps us provide better care for the cats and kittens depending on us.
Stories That Show the Impact of Your Support
One of the kittens we rescued last year was found abandoned and severely malnourished. Thanks to donations from events like this fundraiser, we provided the medical care and nutrition needed for a full recovery. Today, that kitten is a happy, healthy cat living in a loving home.
Another example is a kitten named Poppy who recently had spay surgery, developed a hernia, and had to get emergency surgery last Sunday.
These stories remind us that your support saves lives and changes futures.
