Stuff going on

I thought I'd write a post about things coming up that are going on before I go away -

Sonya's cat rescue (Healing Animal SCARS) is having an adoptathon this weekend - so if you've been thinking about bringing a new cat into your life - now's the time to do it - here's her blurb -

Please come check out our lovely kitties on May 2 & 3 anytime from 9am to 8pm. We are located at 143 Briarwood Drive in Eastern Passage. If you fall in love with one of our cats or kittens, we will complete an adoption application on the spot!

Call Sonya at 469-MEOW (that's 469-6369) for more details.
You can see our cats online at http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/NS28.html

Also this weekend - Tailwaggrrs out in Bedford is having their 1st Annual Fundraiser and BBQ for people AND their Dogs! May 3rd (Rain or Shine) at K9 Wellness Centre located at 746 Bedford Highway. Garage Sale starts at 10am, BBQ starts at 12 noon. Have a dog, shop for used animal stuff and donate your old stuff. Proceeds help support local shelters. Unfortunately... cats are also welcome.

May 9th the NS SPCA is holding a bowling tournament at the Fairlanes Bowling Alley at the Halifax Shopping Centre from 11am to 3pm. Round up your friends and register a team of up to 5 people, and raise pledges to go to the SPCA Cinderalla Fund to aid badly injured animals.

May 30th the NS SPCA is going to hold a Town Hall session about feral cats - here's some information about it -

Volunteers, advocates, concerned residents, municipal animal services staff, and veterinarians from across the province are invited to this meeting facilitated by the Nova Scotia SPCA to discuss approaches for managing and assisting stray and feral cat populations.

June 21st is going to be the date for this year's Metro Dartmouth SPCA's dog jog at Point Pleasant Park - so keep that date open - I don't have any other details than that at this moment - so when I find out more, I'll post more.

At the end of June - June 28th to be exact - there's going to be a fund raiser for Pierre's Alley Cats - Ian Foster is going to be performing at Passage Ale House in Fisherman's Cove, Eastern Passage. Admission is $8. You can go to their Facebook group for more information and to stay in touch until it's closer to performance time.
