The Cat Care Society, Lakewood’s cage-free shelter for homeless, abused and abandoned cats, will host its annual family friendly bake sale and craft bazaar for the holiday season. The Santa Paws Festival, a feline fundraiser, returns for two days from noon to 5 p.m. Friday and from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Saturday at The Cat Care Society, 5787 W. Sixth Ave., Lakewood.
Featuring baked goods, handcrafted items, cat toys and much more available for purchase at the CCS Meow Mart, all proceeds from the Santa Paws Festival benefit cats in need. In addition to scoring holiday treats and gifts, festival-goers can enter a drawing for prizes donated by artisans like Pandora, Trice Jewelers and Laurel Burch. On the second day of the festival, families can ring in the season with face painting and visits with Santa Paws.
‘The Santa Paws Festival is a treasured holiday tradition at our cat shelter,” said Jane Dorsey, Cat Care Society volunteer coordinator. “We’re proud to showcase the baking and crafting skills of our amazing volunteer corps, while welcoming the community into our facility to see the important work we’re doing to care for cats in need. Bringing the public into our shelter also helps to encourage cat and kitten adoptions into forever homes, which is our number-one goal at CCS.”
The Cat Care Society is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for homeless, injured and abused cats in the Denver metropolitan area. In an effort to prevent animal neglect and abuse, CCS offers educational programs that promote responsible pet ownership and humane treatment of all animals; provides shelter for cats in a healthy, cage-free environment and works to find compatible families for every feline that comes into the facility. The shelter provides a loving, temporary refuge for more than 50 cats at any given time, affordable veterinary services to the general public and a free food and litter bank for cat owners experiencing temporary financial challenges.
