Special Appeal for the Cats

This is the one auction item that is not about who bids the highest. It is about the passion and compassion in this room and the shared commitment to the FCCO mission. Instead of bidding against one another, you join together and lift together.

Every guest can participate at a level that feels personally meaningful. In January we reached our milestone 150,000th spay/neuter, an achievement made possible because you care and because you show up for the cats who have no one else.

Your generosity tonight fuels the expansion of our services so we can help more cats, strengthen more colonies, and reduce the number of feral and stray cats in our communities.

We cannot reach these goals without you. Every dollar you give tonight goes straight to the cats. They are the true winners of this auction item, and your support makes their future brighter.
