Our Events and Fund Raisers

Raising enough money to care for all our charges is as big a task as actually caring for them, and our volunteers are always planning something. This page will let you know what we've got in the works next. We'll keep it updated so you can mark your calendar for our next garage sale, mall display, raffle, or whatever event is coming up next. You'll also find our on-going events and fund raisers listed at the end. Be assured that the proceeds of all our fund raisers go to the animals. The volunteers who work on them and donate materials take no remuneration.

Come out and see us. You'll find it worth your while. We have some very talented people donating their skills and some very generous merchants in our community who support us with gift prizes or lend us space for our displays. We'd also like to chat and answer your questions about our shelter and our animals.

Hope to see you soon.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

November

We will be at the Happening Arts & Crafts Fair, Saturday, November 28 and Sunday, November 29, 10am - 4pm, at Thomas Haney Secondary School (23000 - 116 Avenue, Maple Ridge).  This is said to be the biggest and best craft fair in Maple Ridge, and some say one of the best in the Fraser Valley! We'll be there, Table #79 in the Great Hall, with the Katie's Place book, our cookbook, greeting cards, magnets, Kitty Kisses lip balm, scent stones, solid perfume, dog leash hangers, and (hopefully) some catnip pillows and mats. All are hand-crafted by volunteers with 100% of the net proceeds going to help the homeless animals at Katie's Place -- stuffing stockings with heart! :)
 


 

November / December

It's that time of year again! We're doing our annual Pet Photos with Santa at Bosley's in Maple Ridge (22745 Dewdney Trunk) Sunday, November 22 and Sunday, December 6, 11am to 4pm both days. Bring your pet and get a Christmas memento while helping homeless animals at the same time. Photos are by donation. As ever, all proceeds go to our animals.
 
 
 
 

Ongoing:


Katie's Place's book is available now. The Cat Who Sang & Other Stories of Rescued Pets. is about the animals at Katie's Place over the years, their humour and pathos, their challenges and adventures, their eccentricities and altruism. Their stories have moved volunteers, adopters, and supporters, and they surprise us still, even after thousands of rescues. Click here for more information about the book.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 


 
 
 

Our 'Sales Shelves'
We have a small display area at the back of the shelter with special trinkets, cards, books, pet supplies or other items that we think people might like to buy. When something nice is donated for which the shelter just isn't a good place, we figure somebody else can enjoy it at home and we can put the proceeds toward animal care. Our sales cupboard isn't large but we hope to reorganize things better over the next year and display more items. Check it out next time you drop by.
