3rd Annual Meow Mixer
It’s that time again!
This year, the Meow Mixer is going to be on Friday, April 9th from 7-10pm at the home of Marie Colson (3901 Ocean Drive). The event will include music by the SwingRayz, BBQ dinner, a silent auction, raffle, cash bar and chances to win door prizes based on your knowledge of cats (in a game show format)!
Tickets will be $20 before April 9th and $25 at the door. Ticket price includes 1 drink ticket and 1 raffle ticket.
Our shelter is funded strictly on donations, grants and fundraisers. The Meow Mixer is our biggest fundraiser of the year, and a large part of what makes it so profitable is the donation of raffle and silent auction items. Donations that would make good auction items include restaurant gift certificates, home decor items, gift baskets, event tickets, art and so on. Last year two volunteers put together a themed basket of garden items and it was sold for 3 times what they paid! If you can donate any such items, please contact us!
Event sponsorships are also available:
Printing - $250, includes 4 tickets to the event
Postage - $250, includes 4 tickets to the event
Favors - $100, includes 2 tickets to the event
Decorations - $100, includes 2 tickets to the event

Matching Success!
Our matching donation drive was a success! In just a little over a week, our generous supporters sent in $3796!! With the match, that means $7592 was raised for our shelter! Thank you to everyone who donated and especially to our 2 donors that offered to match the funds! We are humbled and thankful that we have such wonderful supporters!
Donation Matching now through November 17th!!
Donate HERE
November 17th, 2009 is the Coastal Bend Day of Giving. Nine organizations in Corpus Christi will be matching donations to 25 charities, up to $6000 per charity. The Cattery was not included in the 25 charities to benefit from this event. While the 25 charities selected are all worthy causes, some of our supporters have voiced disappointment that they can’t donate to us and have their donation matched.
In answer to this, for those of you want to donate to the kitties, we have decided to have a Day of Giving of our own. Two generous supporters (1 anonymous and Marie Colson) have each generously pledged matching funds of $3000. That means for every dollar you donate, it will be matched by these donors, up to $6000. If we meet our goal of $6000 that will be a total of $12,000 for the cats and kittens of The Cattery! Think how nice it will be to donate, knowing that amount will double!
Between now and November 17th click HERE to be taken to the Network for Good website, where you can donate any amount of money you would like! For those of you on Facebook, we will also post the link there. In addition, any checks postmarked by 11/17 will count towards the match. Just write “donation match” in the memo field.
The Cattery’s mailing address is: PO Box 8575, Corpus Christi, TX 78468
We hope you can participate in this wonderful opportunity for our shelter!
