This promo comes under the ‘better late than never’ category. We couldn’t pass up the chance to plug a fund-raising event on behalf of Felines Inc. that is cleverly named “Cinco de Meow.” It will be held Thursday, May 5, from 6-8 p.m. at Trader Todd's Bar and Restaurant, 3216 N. Sheffield Ave., Chicago.
Advance tickets are $20 and include three drink tickets (good for margaritas, well-cocktails, domestic draft beer and house wine), a make-your-own fajita bar and a purrfect time for all! The best part is that Trader Todd's will donate $15 of the $20 to Felines Inc. Tickets can also be bought at the door for $25.
For those of you unfamiliar with Felines, here’s the scoop. It was founded in 1977, as a licensed cageless, no-kill cat shelter on Chicago's north side. As a non-profit 501(c)3 organization, it is funded through adoption fees, fund-raising events, foundations and the generous tax-deductible donations of caring individuals such as readers of this blog. Felines receives no federal or state funding.
This animal shelter holds a special place in our mom’s heart as she adopted the kitty she had before us from there. According to mom, our older sister Casey joined her family as a kitten. She ‘terrorized’ her older brother Red, who had lived peacefully alone with mom for nearly 10 years.
Red wasn’t a shelter cat, he was a rescued stray who arrived at our mom’s home via our Aunt Patty. She’s our hero as she has rescued countless cats over the years (plus a squirrel or two and a possum...don't ask).
You can be our hero, too. Attend Cinco de Meow and invite all of your friends. Can’t go to the fundraiser…visit to the Felines Inc. site and make a donation. Muchas gracias!
