Santa Paws Festival is moving to Saturday and Sunday this year from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Cat Care Society shelter, 5787 W. Sixth Ave., Lakewood.
Here’s the rundown of all the free events at the Santa Paws Festival:
* Photos with the Jolly Old Elf himself, Santa Paws (Adoption Assistant Dave). With the permission of those being photographed, photos will be posted online in a Cat Care Society Facebook album for downloading and/or tagging to your own Facebook page.
* Refreshments, including cookies, other holiday treats and Cat House Punch (a secret mixture of ginger ale, Hawaiian punch and such)..
* Cat petting, neck rubbing, tummy patting and head butting. The shelter cats love all the attention during the Santa Paws Festival excitement.
* The Santa Paws Festival Bake Sale created by the dedicated CCS volunteers. Favorites include fudge, nuts (including Chex Mix blends and more), holiday cookies, pies, cakes and cupcakes. The volunteer “elves” have been baking for months now.
* Tickets for the raffle will be $10 each this year, up from $5 the past two years, in an effort to raise more money for the cats. Each prize has a bag by it and you put your ticket in the bag of the prize you want to win. You can buy multiple tickets. Drawing is at the end of the day on Sunday – winners need not be present.
* Shopping at the Meow Mart store for new stuff for your cats, including: Cat Mats by Kathy, Cat Beds by Marlene, Lavender Cats by Linda, Knit Mice by Amy, and Wool Loops by Anonymous – all made in Colorado.
* Santa Paws Festival Bazaar featuring gently used items. Lots of Christmasy Cat things and more: This year there’s an extensive collection of Lilliput Lane Village collectibles.
* New this year is the Christmas Ornament Donation Drive. Check out all the ornaments crafted by the CCS volunteers.
