House of Dreams Silent Auction June 9

Join us on June 9 for an evening of art, food, and wine, all to benefit House of Dreams!

Auction takes place on Saturday, June 9 from 6:30-9:00 p.m.

Location:
Seven Virtues
5936 NE Glisan Street
Portland, OR 97213

How the auction works:
Art on display June 4-June 9, 2012.
Bids may be placed anytime during that week.
Highest bidders need not be present at the close of the auction to win (although we'd love to have you there!).

A bit about the art at the show:
It features a variety of styles, and includes paintings, sculpture, jewelry, and prints.
While some of the pieces feature kitties, it is not all cat-themed!
Prices are affordable and the atmosphere is relaxed. We're joining together to have fun, enjoy artwork, and raise money for the kitties.

Thank you to all the wonderful artists who have donated to this event!

Feral Cat Coalition to host free spay/neuter clinic for feral and stray cats on Friday April 13th

From the Feral Cat Coalition of Oregon:

The Feral Cat Coalition of Oregon (FCCO) will host a free spay/neuter clinic for feral and stray cats in the four-county area on Friday, April 13^th in honor of Tax Day.  

 Why Tax Day? FCCO stresses the importance of spaying and neutering cats before the weather gets warmer and the spring breeding cycle begins. Cats can reproduce as early as five months old, but can be safely spayed and neutered at two months old. Someone feeding one cat in the spring can find themselves taxed by feeding more than 20 by fall.

Claire from Woodland can attest to how quickly cats can multiply. She began feeding a stray cat who showed up at her home. In a year’s time she found herself feeding 28 cats. She called FCCO for help. Over two days she trapped 27 of the cats and is currently trapping to get the last one. There won’t be any new kittens born and she is very relieved.

What can I do to help? If you or someone you know is feeding feral or stray cats, please call 503-797-2606 today or visit www.feralcats.com for more information.

Limited edition yoyo's to benefit House of Dreams!

We are always so excited when creative, talented people come up with ways to use their gifts to benefit the kitties at House of Dreams. And we're really thrilled about this project--Sniffy-Yo yoyo Video Reviews is creating a limited edition yoyo, with proceeds from the sales of the yoyo donated to House of Dreams.

The yoyos are currently in production, check out the map below (from the Sniffy-yo website), to learn about the process; read about the production of the yoyos (there's a lot that goes into making a really beautiful yoyo) here.

We've seen a mock of the final design, and trust us, it's very, very cool. Only 25 yoyos will be made, retailing for $25 each. Stay tuned for more info as we approach their release date!
