And, of course, we offer our heartfelt thanks and appreciation to all of you who attended and donated by your ticket purchases, raffle participation and generous bidding. The preliminary estimate is that the Fur Ball brought in $13,000. There are still some expenses and income to be accounted for, but we know there will be at least that much money available.
These funds are used for the
on-going effort to spay and neuter the dogs and cats of Todos Santos and
Pescadero. Local vets perform these
operations weekly, both in Todos Santos and at El Refugio in Pescadero. In addition, there is an annual clinic when
Because of your kindness and generosity, we will be able to continue to fund local area spay and neuter efforts this year to further reduce the population of abused, sick and starving animals.
Thank you so much to all! - Angelique
