Kitty Connection Holds Silent Auction & Lasagna Dinner– Nov 16

MEDFORD – November 8, 2019 – Kitty Connection, an all-volunteer non-profit dedicated to rescuing and finding safe, loving homes for local cats and dogs, will hold its annual Silent Auction on Saturday, Nov. 16 (7 – 10 p.m.) at the Elks Lodge, 19 Washington Street, Medford.

“Last year’s event was a great success,” said Kitty Connection President Marie Mazzeo. “With funds raised, we were able to care for animals in need and help them find their new ‘furrever’ families. Unfortunately, the number of homeless, abandoned, abused and unwanted pets in our community remains a challenge. We’re hopeful this year’s Silent Auction will go a long way toward helping to meet these needs.”

Kitty Connection volunteers rescue 450 to 500 cats and several dogs each year. The organization provides critical high-cost medical care, including surgeries, for 30 to 50 cats annually, as well as funds for low-cost medical care to 30 to 50 adopters following adoption of their pets. Volunteers provide foster homes for animals until they are adopted, and Kitty Connection ensures that all pets are spayed/neutered, tested for common illnesses, and vaccinated prior to adoption.

In addition, Kitty Connection runs a low-cost spay/neuter program for pet owners in need, operates a feral cat trap/neuter/return program, and provides education and outreach in the community about the importance of responsible pet ownership.

Tickets for the Kitty Connection 2019 Silent Auction are $25 and include a lasagna dinner, live entertainment, the chance to win door prizes and raffles, and the opportunity to bid on a variety of goods and services just in time for the holidays.
