OCT 26: AN EVENING AT THE STRAY CAT CLUB, A BENEFIT FOR STRAY CAT ALLIANCE AT WILSHIRE EBELL THEATRE
Featured Event Listing posted by Don Rose
The Stray Cat Alliance, whose motto is "Building a No Kill Nation One Stray at a Time", will host a wild and wonderful fund-raising extravaganza at the historic Wilshire Ebell Theater on Sunday, October 26, 2008. 100% of the proceeds will be donated to the organization's powerful, effective projects that provide care and protection for the many forgotten, homeless and hungry stray cats who live on the streets, and often end up being killed in pounds. Stray Cat Alliance's work focuses on humane trapping and caring for feral cats, while promoting responsible spay and neuter and adoption of all neglected cats. The event is being held in October to celebrate the month officially named as Feral Cat Month, with the 16th being Feral Cat Day.
SCA's masquerade/costume party will be hosted by radio star Warren Eckstein, host of The Pet Show with Warren Eckstein and resident animal expert for NBC 's Today Show. World-famous internet innovator, actor and activist Cory Williams of ‘Mean Little Kitty’ fame, whose YouTube videos have attracted over 100 million viewers, will be honored. The awards dinner, which is preceded by cocktails, vegan hors d'oeuvres and special Stray Cat-inis, also honors L.A. Council members Richard Alarcon and Tony Cardenas. This year's party promises to be truly eclectic and memorable, including magicians, animal communicators, psychics, raffles, and surprise celebrity musical performances!

Its proven that seniors health improves living with a companion animal. SCA will provide a medical trust for the animals and will take the cat if the owner dies or becomes unable to care for the animal. A win-win, saving two lives!
Every month, SCA aids over a thousand cats, through their hotline and innovative outreach programs, including Trap/Neuter/Return (TNR), and life-saving advice and resources such as free spay neuter, food and medical support. It is estimated that millions of cats live in southern California alone, many abandoned by their original owners.

DEC. 22: THE SICK PUPPIES PLAY ACOUSTIC FUNDRAISER AT VON DUTCH FOR DAWGS CHARITY
(from website antiMusic.com)
The Sick Puppies are playing a live acoustic fundraiser in Los Angeles this weekend for the Dalhart Animal Rescue. The benefit is sponsored by LA Rock Rest, Von Dutch, V2 and 97.1 FREE FM and will take place Saturday, December 22nd, 2007 3:00 pm at Von Dutch Headquarters - 819 N. La Brea Ave. - West Hollywood, Ca 90038.
According to the press release: The Dalhart Animal Wellness Group & Sanctuary (DAWGS) was started in March 2003 by four young ladies in the fourth grade who were upset about dogs being brutally euthanized in Dalhart, Texas. When DAWGS was created, the city of Dalhart, TX was euthanizing over 600 dogs a year- that's over 4 times the national average for dogs and cats combined. With very limited resources, DAWGS, primarily ran by children ages 9 to 12, began picking up dogs and cats from the city facility, having them checked by the local vets, vaccinated, and spaying or neutering them prior to adoption. Even while facing tremendous adversity, DAWGS has successfully rescued over 4,000 dogs to date through their no-kill sanctuary. For more information, visit: http://dawgsntexas.com
