Shop for Valentine’s Day auction items while supporting local pets awaiting adoption; Virtual raffle for “Funny Girl” tickets is also ongoing through February 4
MEDFORD – Jan. 21, 2025 – With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, Kitty Connection, an all-volunteer non-profit dedicated to rescuing and finding loving homes for local pets, will hold an Online Auction from Friday, Jan. 31 through Sunday, Feb. 2. Auction proceeds support the care of homeless cats and dogs, including the cost of pre-adoption veterinary procedures. Visit https://www.myminiauction.com/kittyconnection for more information.
“Proceeds from online auctions throughout the year are crucial to our ability to pay for medical procedures, as well as the day-to-day expenses of caring for pets and connecting them with suitable adopters,” Kitty Connection President Marie Mazzeo said. “In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, we hope people will open their hearts – and wallets – to help us get all our cats and dogs into forever homes.”
In addition to the online auction, Kitty Connection is raffling off two orchestra aisle seats to the Feb. 15 production of “Funny Girl” at Citizens Opera House in Boston ($447 value). The raffle price is $20 for three tickets, which will be sold until 5 p.m. on Feb. 4. Raffle tickets can be purchased via Venmo (@KittyConnection; please specify "raffle" and include a phone number in the notes section), or with cash by calling 781-393-9995 or emailing accounting@kittyconnection.net.
Kitty Connection’s Jan. 31 – Feb. 2 online auction will feature gifts and everyday necessities for people and their pets, including pet beds, food and toys. Premium items include a $100 gift card for Polcari’s/Regina Pizzeria, a wine and cheese basket valued at $125, a Le Creuset whistling tea kettle valued at $89, a $169 Hatch Restore alarm clock, and a $100 gift card for Kendra Scott jewelry.
Bidding will open at 5 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 30, and continue through 8 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 2. Bidding guidelines and other information are available at: https://www.myminiauction.com/kittyconnection Winning bidders will be notified after the auction closes.
Kitty Connection annually rescues more than 450 homeless animals and funds over 375 spay and neuter procedures for pet owners in need. Volunteers provide foster homes for cats and kittens until they are adopted, and Kitty Connection ensures that they are spayed/neutered, tested for common illnesses, and vaccinated before they go to their new homes. Kitty Connection also provides community education and outreach about the importance of responsible pet ownership.
Opportunities to support Kitty Connection will continue after the auction, too. Check out the online Pop-up Boutique for adorable cat and dog themed hats, T-shirts, and totes! In addition, donations are always appreciated via Venmo: @KittyConnection (code 4934, if needed).
