Annual Open House and Fundraiser at National Cat Protection

Society set for Sunday, May 23

In 1968, C. Richard Calore, a former humane officer, founded the

National Cat Protection Society in Long Beach. His purpose was

threefold: to educate the public about the humane treatment of cats;

to provide shelter so that homeless cats could be placed for

adoption; and to maintain a retirement center for cats. Now located

in Newport Beach, National Cat continues to maintain Calore’s

mission.

Sunday, May 23, 2004 marks the date of the National Cat Protection

Society’s Annual Open House and Fundraiser. The doors open at 1 p.m.

with the festivities continuing until 4:30 p.m.

As a private, non-profit cat shelter, operations rely on

donations. This annual event is important because it helps raise the

funds necessary to provide loving care for their felines while they

await adoption.

There will be a silent auction as well as several raffle and door

prizes given away during the event. Local businesses have been

generous in donating lovely prizes and gift certificates that are

sure to create a lot of activity at the auction tables. Come by our

Open House, enjoy refreshments in our beautiful facility and most of

all, enjoy the cats!
