Our annual virtual silent auction will open on Wednesday, Nov. 23 at noon Eastern. The auction will close on Saturday, Dec. 3 at 8 p.m.

Participants will bid on gift baskets, gift cards, products and services. Highest bidder wins. Donors will be recognized in all communication materials to promote the fundraiser, as well as throughout and afterwards. Specific thank yous will be published on all social media channels, recognizing each donor.

We hope you're "feline lucky" because we have hundreds of gift baskets, goodies, excursions and more for you to peruse. There is a deal for you and for everyone on your holiday shopping list.

But let's not forget this is for charity. Every penny you spend beyond the value amount of the item is tax-deductible. All proceeds, 100%, go directly to the animals in the care of Paws for Life Rescue. The rescue has no paid staff and receives no government support.
