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)
