Art & Animal Lovers Come Together for Wine & Cheese Fundraiser


MC900441386[1]



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.

Can you spare a few dollars to help them find a home for the holidays?

Nothing breaks our hearts more than to see sweet, gentle, loving cats go without a home for the holidays, especially the many that we have in our care right now - some who were cruelly thrown out on the street and others, like poor, brokenhearted Milo here, who lost a loved one... November 28 is "Giving Tuesday" and we're launching a month-long campaign. Our goal is to make sure every one of our rescues has a home in time for the holidays. Can you spare a few dollars to help fill our Giving Grid ?  We are an all-volunteer non-profit that relies strictly on donations to help our feline friends find fur-ever homes and w e are doing all we can, but... Did you know our volunteers trudge through snow, sleet and sweltering heat 365 days a year to feed the feral cat colonies throughout Bordentown City? Did you know we make shelters for all of these colonies and for many residents who care for outdoor cats? Did you know our volunteers personally f...

Will you help heal Milo's broken heart?

Milo came to us about two months ago after suffering a terrible tragedy.  His mother, who adored him, passed away suddenly at home, leaving him alone until friends came to his rescue.  They reached out to us knowing she loved him more than anything and would want them to make sure he was well taken care of.  This testimonial from Milo's mother's friend says it all... "I cannot tell you how much I appreciate  this group (BCC). In my time of need with the passing of one of my closest friends, they allowed me to drop off her cat who wa s now alone.    They responded so quickly and a lovely woman named Mindy, left her number. Once we were able to catch this beautiful cat (who was afraid and confused as to what had happened),  Mindy welcomed us to her house to drop off our little friend with the knowledge that he would be fostered and not put into a shelter. This alone calmed our already pained hearts. Our friend loved her cat with all of her he...
