Come one, come all and check out Webster’s Community Cat Connection on Sunday, July 23, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. They’re having a Kitten Shower. Yes, you read that right. There’s always a need for good pet people to adopt abandoned or unwanted adorable kittens and the Community Cat Connection (“CCC”) located at 289 Thompson Road in Webster is hoping you can visit and check out their latest and greatest fuzzy little babes. No, they’re not toys and should never be treated as such but you will see them and hear their cute little voices as you check them out at the CCC’s Second Annual Kitten Shower. You can even vote for your favorite.

But, that’s not all.  On this special day, there will also be raffles and games for kids and adults as well as appetizers, baked goods, and beverages for your enjoyment. They’ll have raffle gift baskets that include lottery tickets, back-to-school supplies, summer road trip supplies, spa gifts, wines, cat supply items, and much more. All games are free and there will be some great prizes. Events featured will be bean bag tosses, temporary tattoos, and guessing games. Children are welcome. The Man and Cat Candle Company will also be featured. His candles are hand-poured, small batch soy candles with double wooden wicks and he generously contributes 10% of his sale proceeds to the CCC.

Not only is this fun event a way to introduce area residents to the new friendly felines and older adoptable fur babies but it’s also a donation center for items needed for everyday use at the CCC. Their volunteer staff cleans, sanitizes, and feeds all the CCC residents including adult cuddly cats. Here’s the public’s opportunity to see some of the beautiful and handsome felines that are adoptable and are looking for good and caring homes. If you are able, the CCC would greatly appreciate donations of just about anything you can imagine a safe haven would need:  Purina kitten and adult cat food (wet & dry)-no fish please! Kitty litter, Dawn dishwashing liquid, dryer sheets, HE laundry detergent, paper towels, mini-dust pans and brooms, liquid hand soap, 13-gallon trash bags, cash donations, and even gift cards!  Your generosity, no matter how small, is always welcome and so greatly appreciated.

If you decide to apply for ownership of any of their attractive and loving pets, you’ll be happy to know that all felines adopted are neutered and vaccinated and given complete physical examinations from the local vet hospital. You won’t be disappointed. 

“CCC volunteers are proud of our facility and we want people to be more aware of us,” said Barbara Hassett, a volunteer. “We enjoy what we do and try our best to make our accommodations safe and clean for not only our pets but for our visitors too.”

The residents and volunteers can’t wait to see your smile!
