Thank you for a great first ten years!
Hundreds of CAT supporters and friends joined in the 10th Anniversary celebration on Saturday, May 10, 2008—enjoying the excitement of finding their new feline friend, entering the hourly door prizes, taking a spin on the Adoption Discount wheel, receiving their free 10th Anniversary t-shirt, touring the CAT shelter, and sharing photos of their CAT feline alums.
Volunteers served up a hot dog BBQ and anniversary cake to all who came.
The highlight of the day was when, on behalf of the entire organization, CAT Executive Director Aaron Asmus honored CAT Founder Evan Kalik for his dedication to the homeless cats and kittens of this community.
Evan received a special scrapbook full of a decade of memories from when he opened the doors to CAT with 35 kennels and a handful of volunteers.
At 2:30 pm, the excitement mounted as K103 Afternoon Host Michael Baily beckened everyone to gather around the Nissan Versa to see who was the lucky Wheels for Whiskers raffle winner.
Congratulations go out to Vicki Bahrs of Happy Valley who will be driving away in that stylish, fuel efficient Versa, and to Wendy Singer, who won the professional feline photo shoot by Lamm Photography.
