During the event, attendees can have their own antiques and other treasures appraised (either verbally for $5, or in writing for $35), with all proceeds going to Paws for Life Animal Rescue. In addition to onsite appraisals by experts in antiques, attendees can purchase raffle tickets for a myriad of prizes, including a pair of orchestra seats at the Bushnell, SAT prep classes, themed baskets, gift certificates to local salons, and more. Children are encouraged to attend as there will be kid’s activities throughout the day, and all attendees can meet some of Paws for Life Animal Rescue’s adoptable cats.
“We are very excited to be partnering with Branford Antiques and Home Design for this fundraiser. Since we started this rescue in October 2017, we’ve helped over 500 animals find new homes. We are now helping with a hoarding case in the Waterbury area and this fundraiser will be critical to our success in helping the more than 25 cats we have already taken in, plus the remaining 10+ cats still at the home. Vet care for this case is estimated to be over $20,000, and this fundraiser will help us get the cats the care they need,” said Melissa Sprague, Co-founder of Paws for Life Animal Rescue.
Interested parties do not need to register for the event. Appraisals and activities will run throughout the day, with raffle prizes drawn at the end of the event (winners need not be present). For additional information about the event, or to apply to adopt one of the cats who will be featured there, contact Erica at erica@pawsforlifect.com.
