Description

Silent Auction Donation Request:

If you could save an animal’s life by donating a gift card, would you? Believe it or not, donations like this help Furkids save over 4,000 homeless cats and dogs every year. We come to you to ask for your help with this year’s Paws for Cocktails fundraiser, to be held at Furkids’ Headquarters on Saturday, October 22, 2022. It’s always a great party with amazing music, food, fun, and friends!

Would you consider giving a valuable product, gift card, or service for our auction? All donors will receive logo and name recognition on our online auction platform.

Did you know your donations generate critical funding for challenging medical cases? On April 23, 2022 at just 8 weeks old, Bandit, a puppy brought into Furkids’ care, was severely suffering from parvovirus- a virus in canines that causes lethargy, abdominal pain, bloating, hypothermia, vomiting, and severe diarrhea. Bandit had lived his entire life at animal control and the emergency vet. Treating parvo for just one dog can cost upwards of $3,000 as the nature of this virus is brutal, especially on tiny puppies like Bandit. He was admitted to the emergency vet directly from animal control to increase his chances of survival. Unfortunately, Bandit had a particularly rough case of parvo and required extensive treatment from qualified veterinary staff for weeks. We are overjoyed to report that now, six weeks later, Bandit has fully recovered from his battle with parvo and is currently available for adoption!

At Furkids, we seek out the most difficult medical cases, offering a second chance to animals that might otherwise have no hope. But we can’t save these vulnerable and deserving pets without you. So please consider a gift to our Paws for Cocktails silent auction today!

Thank you for your consideration. We are so grateful for your support that allows us to fulfill our lifesaving mission!
