Benny the Cat, a feline ambassador of love, hope and resilience, is excited to announce his upcoming seventh birthday party and fundraiser.
The event is organized by Helen Sanders CatPAWS, a nonprofit feline rescue organization based in Seal Beach. It takes place Saturday, Aug. 24, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Marina Community Center, located at 151 Marina Drive, Seal Beach, CA.
Benny’s journey has been one of triumph over adversity. Rescued as a kitten from a home plagued by domestic abuse, Benny arrived at Long Beach Animal Care Services with broken bones, a fractured jaw, and a spirit in need of healing. CatPAWS provided him with medical care that helped him walk again. Even better, CatPAWS board member Bev Leifer instantly fell in love with Benny, adopted him, and so gave him the life he never otherwise would have come close to having.
Helen Sanders CatPAWS is dedicated to rescuing at-risk cats and kittens from shelters, spaying and neutering them, providing them with foster care, and getting them ready for forever homes. Benny’s annual birthday fundraiser supports the vital work of CatPAWS, enabling them to continue their mission in Los Angeles and Orange counties.
Benny the Cat’s Birthday Party promises a day of family-friendly fun. Attendees can enjoy a vendor fair, an included lunch, games and prizes, arts and crafts, face painting, a raffle, and, of course, birthday cake! Benny will make a special appearance, too! The event will also feature adorable adoptable kittens, who, like Benny, are hoping to find their own loving families. The shelter at Long Beach Animal Care Services will bring their Adoption Waggin’, and partygoers can tour CatPAWS’ spay/neuter mobile clinic, which the party will also help fund. All funds will go to CatPAWS—the parties have raised $10,000 since the first one four years ago.
Tickets for the event are available for $20—free for kids 10 and younger! They can be purchased in advance at www.helensanderscatpaws.com or at the door.
Join Benny and the CatPAWS team in the ongoing efforts to rescue and rehabilitate cats in our community.
