Join the Kitties for Oktopurrfest

It’s All About the Animals will host Oktopurrfest, a free, fun-filled celebration for pet lovers of all ages, on October 18 from 11:00 am – 3:00 pm on the shelter grounds located at 103 Marion Road, Rochester.

“Autumn is a beautiful time of year on the South Coast and offers the ‘purrfect’ opportunity for shelter friends both old and new to visit the facility and meet our feline residents,” says Pam Robinson, shelter founder. “You just might leave with four paws wrapped around your heart.”

The event will include a wide array of raffles and more than 20 vendors featuring gifts and services for cats, dogs and their human friends. Tours of the modern, well-equipped facility will be offered. More than 50 beautiful shelter cats, all hoping to be adopted by a loving forever home, will serve as goodwill ambassadors and happily greet guests.

Vendors will include dog trainers, canine bakeries, groomers and masseurs specializing in massages for animals and their owners. Representatives of several local shelters will be available to discuss their adoption programs.

“Please come dressed as your favorite character,” Robinson continues, adding that the celebration will also include a children’s costume contest and a pumpkin decorating competition. Guests can bring their own pumpkin or purchase one at the event.

Light refreshments will be sold. Visitors are advised not to bring pets. For more information, e-mail ohnokitty1@gmail.com or call 508-763-2035.
