  • Wags & Whiskers Gala Black Cat Ball
    September 20, 2024


    Our inaugural Wags & Whiskers Gala was a resounding success. We deeply appreciate the incredible support from the community and our generous sponsors!

    Over 240 people in amazing costumes, masks, cat ears, and fancy dress attended the event that raised over $51,000 that night. One of the highlights of the evening was the OCHS bottle-baby puppies and kittens who spent the evening getting cuddled by countless attendees. Special thanks to their foster PAW-rents Tina and Matt Ferkey, for bringing the babies to the Black Cat Ball! Volunteer photographers Stephanie Ford and Deborah Larson captured tons of PAWSOME photos, so check our Facebook page to see tender moments from the evening. We'd also like to thank our Gala Event Team volunteer and staff who made the night PURRFECT. They are Angi Fowles (chair), Diane Swart (co-chair), Deb Ripley, Joe Zarate, and Valerie Swensrud. Special thanks, too, to our dynamic team of FUNdraisers who went door to door soliciting sponsorships and items for the silent and live auctions. They are Shauna Robbers, Debi Colvin, Nancy Cline, and Ann Martin.

    We can't do events like this without community support! Thank you to everyone who attended, donated, sponsored, and shared information about the event. We can't wait to do it again!
