Sponsor A Celebrity Cat
When you sponsor a homeless cat, you'll be saving even more lives. As kitten season continues, we see an increase of litters coming into the shelter. On average, it cost $100 to care for one litter for just one day (including medical care, food and supplies).
Your support helps us continue to care for cats and kittens of all sizes - from teeny, baby bottle kittens to senior cats who need a little extra TLC. As a Cat Sponsor, you will be recognized during the Celebrity Cat Walk.

- Whisker and Tails (our version of Heads or Tails!). Buy into the game prior to the program start and you could win a 50/50 cash prize.
- How it works: All participants who buy in will be asked to stand up at the beginning of the game and select either “whiskers" or “tails” by displaying your whisker prop— or your tail prop! Then, we'll flip a coin and participants whose choice matches the coin flip stay standing. The last person standing wins!
