Pucks For Paws 2020

The Calgary Hitmen may be facing off against the Hurricanes on January 10, 2020, but they are joining forces with the Four Feet Companion Foundation for a fundraiser benefiting the FRFA cats.

(The cats challenge everyone to come up with a more feline alliterative sentence.)

 

Tickets for this game are $15 per person with $5 of that going to the fundraiser. The only hitch is 250 tickets need to be sold for the fundraiser to go ahead.

Purchase your tickets online using promo code FOURFEET and hard copy tickets can be arranged through .

Garage Sale of the Summer!

You may not see a garage sale like this again!

At least not for the summer of 2019.

Feline fanciers in and around Calgary have donated an amazing selection of items to support the FRFA cats.

Imagine going home with:

  • a new-in-the-box LazyBoy patio table
  • lovely patio chairs
  • right-hand Calaway women’s golf clubs … and bag!
  • snowblower
  • home theatre system
  • Lululemon and other high-end hoodies

Fresh catnip and other irresistible kitty paraphernalia will be available for a donation.

Donations of chicken-based cat food are most welcome.

The FRFA cats would like to show donors their appreciation for keeping the kitty cupboards filled by sharing their stash of THE BEST CATNIP in Calgary.

Dates, time and location of FRFA garage sale

New items will be brought out on Saturday so be sure to swing by both days.

This is a one-weekend only event. No next weekend or next time.

The garage needs to return to its garage duties.

This is a major fundraiser to help pay for their care including vet visits, medical procedures, food, etc. so let’s clear. out. the. garage.!
