Annual open house event

In 1968, C. Richard Calore, a former humane officer, founded the

National Cat Protection Society in Long Beach. His purpose was

threefold: to educate the public about the humane treatment of cats;

to provide shelter so that homeless cats could be placed for

adoption; and to maintain a retirement center for cats. Now located

in Newport Beach, National Cat continues to maintain Calore’s

mission.

Sunday, May 18, 2003 marks the date of the National Cat Protection

Society’s Annual Open House and Fundraiser as well as our 35th

Anniversary celebration. The doors open at 2 p.m. with festivities

continuing until 4:30 p.m.

As a non-profit cat shelter, operations rely solely on donations.

This annual event is important because it helps raise the funds

necessary to provide loving care for our felines while they await

adoption.

There will be a silent auction as well as several raffles and door

prizes given away during the event. Local businesses have been

generous in donating lovely prizes and gift certificates that are

sure to create a stir of activity at the auction tables. Come by the

Open House, enjoy some refreshments in our beautiful facility and

most of all, enjoy the cats!

The National Cat Protection Society is located at 6904 W. Coast

Highway in Newport Beach. Please RSVP to (949) 650-1232.
