Cat's Painting for Charity
Contributed by: Allison Adair on 9/2/2008

The Hobe Sound Animal Protection League (HSAPL) is pleased to announce a very unique event; cats painting for charity. On Thursday, August 28th three very talented feline residents of Hobe Sound Animal Protection League painted works of art for the 4th Annual Paws for a cause fundraiser which will be held on Saturday, November 1st from Noon to 4 PM at the Caring Fields Animal Sanctuary in Palm City.


The paw print works of art that the frisky felines painted will be auctioned off at the silent auction that will be held at the Paws for a Cause fundraiser. Not many have had the pleasure of viewing cat artwork till now. It was a truly unique and fun experience for volunteers to assist the cats in their artistic endeavors.


Hobe Sound Animal Protection League is a non-profit 501 c (3) no-kill feline rescue and adoption shelter .With the public's support our organization has made vast strides toward educating the residents on the Treasure Coast about the humane choices they can make to helping the battle against overpopulation of unwanted pets.Since 2001 they have spayed and neutered over 600 cats in various colonies in Martin County and placed over 400 cats/kittens in "forever homes," but there is still a lot of work to be done.



Last year they raised over $20,000 at our Paws for a Cause fundraiser. HSAPL has a goal of $30,000 for this year. Their 4th Annual Paws for a Cause fundraiser will be an exciting and fun event for everyone. Activities for the kids include; arts & crafts, a petting zoo, face painting and much more. For the adults, there will be a silent auction, door prizes, a raffle, music and delicious food. Tours will be offered of this unique facility with an opportunity to meet many of our feline residents. The ticket price is $25 and free admission for all children under age16 when accompanied by an adult. All donations are 100% tax deductible.

Hobe Sound Animal Protection League need the community's support as they are planning this exciting event. They are actively seeking sponsors as well as items for their silent auction. All donations are tax deductible. HSAPL is very happy to announce that they have received their first Platinum Sponsor, Lisa Hughes. The cats and everyone at HSAPL thank her for her generou support and contribution. Please contact Peggy Hart at 772-221-8250 or k9chaos@bellsouth.net for further information on how you can get involved.
