Art & Animal Lovers Come Together for Wine & Cheese Fundraiser

Art and animal lovers will come together on Wednesday, September 19, for a wine and cheese fundraiser at one of the city’s notable art galleries to benefit the rescue efforts of Bordentown City Cats (BCC). The event will take place from 5-9 pm at the Artful Deposit Gallery, located at 201 Farnsworth Ave, Bordentown City.

“One of Bordentown’s most defining traits is its sense of community,” said Melinda Pack, BCC’s event coordinator.  “Everyone is willing to help one another and this event is a great example of that.  The Artful Deposit, a staple of our business community, is lending a helping hand to further our worthwhile rescue mission.  This is a wonderful way to learn more about what we do as a group while perusing some fine art and enjoying wine and cheese in a welcoming community atmosphere.”

CJ Mugavero, owner of the Artful Deposit Gallery and long-time supporter of BCC, will be donating a portion of her sales for the evening to benefit the group and noted that she is, “looking forward to a purrrfectly artful evening.”

In addition to wine, cheese and other hors d’ oeuvres, the group will also have giveaways courtesy of other area businesses.  All proceeds from the event will benefit the group’s continuing efforts to rescue, foster, find good homes for and provide medical treatment to Bordentown City’s stray and feral cat population.

      With summer signaling the usual boom in kittens, the group currently has a number available for adoption, some of which may be available at the event along with pictures of all those for which the group is currently seeking homes.

In addition to its daily task of feeding and caring for the city’s feral cat population, BCC has rescued over 25 cats and kittens alone this year with several more areas of the city slated to be helped this fall.  Given the weighty load the group carries all year round, it is actively seeking new volunteers to help continue its mission, which is now in its ninth year.

Anyone interested in volunteering, should contact BCC at (E) btowncitycats@gmail.com or (P) 609-324-3896 or visit:  www.bordentowncitycats.blogspot.com to learn more.
