Denver's Cat Care Society Celebrates Thirty Years of Serving the Community
LAKEWOOD, Colo., May 24, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The Cat Care Society (CCS) is celebrating its 30th Anniversary this year. The announcement is made by Shari Shiffer-Krieger, CCS Executive Director, who says the milestone is being officially commemorated June 5th at Green Gables Country Club with the auction of 17 painted fiberglass cats, each about 28" tall and painted a different theme by local artists.
"Our 30th anniversary art event, 'Tails of the Painted Cats,' has been in progress for more than a year now to raise awareness of our past 30 years of growth and the work going on every day for the cats being helped by our cageless shelter and other related projects in the community," Shiffer-Krieger says.
Each Painted Cat has had an opening bid of $300.00, and bidding is in progress at the Lakewood Arts Council Co-op Gallery, 85 South Union Blvd., Suite C, through the end of May where the painted cats are on display. The emcee for the June 5th Dinner/Auction Gala is cat lover, April Zesbaugh, host of Colorado's Morning News on KOA. The Auctioneer is Don Martin.
