About Feral Care Sanctuary
Located about 15 miles north of Kirkland in Bothell, Washington, Feral Care Sanctuary is a nonprofit organization dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating feral cats. This sanctuary provides a safe haven for over 100 cats who have nowhere else to go. It’s not just a shelter; it’s a community effort supported by donors and volunteers who are passionate about giving these animals a second chance.
The sanctuary’s mission includes humane population control through Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) programs, fostering and socializing feral cats and kittens, and providing lifelong care for those who cannot be adopted. The sanctuary’s peaceful environment offers plenty of space for cats to roam freely, climb trees, bask in the sun, or snuggle up in heated cat houses during colder months.
Why Attend?
Attending this event is more than just an opportunity to enjoy an afternoon of fun; it’s a chance to make a real difference in the lives of animals who are often overlooked. Feral cats are not typically considered pets or wildlife, which places them in a unique position where they need human intervention to survive and thrive.
By participating in the “Naughty or Nice Benefit,” you’re directly contributing to the ongoing care and support that these cats receive at Feral Care Sanctuary. Your involvement helps provide food, shelter, medical care, and love to these deserving animals.
How You Can Help
Apart from attending the event, there are several ways you can support Feral Care Sanctuary:
- Donate: Monetary donations are always appreciated and go directly towards the care of the cats.
- Volunteer: If you have time to spare, consider volunteering at the sanctuary. It’s a rewarding experience that allows you to interact with these incredible animals firsthand.
- Spread the Word: Share information about the sanctuary and its mission with friends and family. The more people know about it, the more support it can garner.
Final Thoughts
The “Naughty or Nice Benefit” is more than just an event—it’s a celebration of community spirit and compassion for animals in need. So mark your calendars for December 8th and head over to The Whole Cat and Kaboodle in Kirkland. Whether you’re sipping on hot cocoa or bidding on auction items, remember that every action you take helps create a brighter future for our feline friends at Feral Care Sanctuary!
