FUNDRAISERS/BENEFITS

by Loma Cat House & Grand Valley Pets Alive

8:00am-3:00pm, 929 Main Street, Grand Junction CO

We know you have been waiting patiently! Loma Cat House (LCH), in partnership with Grand Valley Pets Alive (GVPA), will be holding a HUGE Yard Sale more...0 on Caturday, October 2nd from 8:00 am to 3:00 pm. The sale will be held at 929 Main Street, Grand Junction CO. It's no secret that there will be some desirable merchandise. So, put on your comfy shoes and check out the bargains of donated items. Get a glimpse of the items by visiting Loma Cat House Facebook. And of course it’s all for a good cause to support Loma Cat House and Grand Valley Pets Alive efforts in caring for and finding responsible homes for abondoned cats and kittens. This is LCH's first annual garage sale to raise much-needed funds for their mission -- a volunteer-run 501 (c)3 nonprofit organization that saves abused, abandoned and relinquished cats and kittens by providing them with medical care, TLC, and socialization, spay /neutering and foster care until they are placed in appropriate adoptive homes. Proceeds also benefit GVPA efforts in providing vouchers/coupons to offset spay/neuter costs for pet owners and people managing feral colonies. Both organizations advocate for spay / nuetering of all pets and feral cats due to the overpopulation of abandoned animals in Mesa County.
