Whiskers 'n Wags Jubilee History
Fort Collins Cat Rescue's first winter gala, named Chat Amour (roughly translated "cat love") was held in 2008 at the Fort Collins Senior Center. This successful fundraiser gave way to Chat Amour Deux and Chat Amour III, the latter held at the Drake Centre to accommodate the growing number of guests supporting our cause. Dr. Kevin Fitzgerald of Animal Planet's "Emergency Vets" headlined Chat Amour III with his comedy act and helped us raise nearly $39,000 for the kitties in our care.
For 2011 we're giving our gala a new name, Whiskers 'n Wags Jubilee, to highlight that we also care for dogs at our spay/neuter clinic--they make up over 40 percent of our clients! In addition, WWJ is a celebration of the great things FCCR has done over the past four years, with the invaluable help of our volunteers and supporters, in adopting out over 2,500 cats and kittens and spaying/neutering over 13,000 dogs and cats.
We appreciate the generosity of our community and hope to see you at this year's event themed "Catsablanca". Watch for details on our web site!
