CÔTE SAINT-LUC CATS COMMITTEE ONLINE RAFFLE 2020

 

Raffle Committee Members Malka Labow Diane Liebling Randi Kader Ronnie Roter
Every year, we hold a Benefit Concert, to help support the TNR program. The monies generated from this concert allow us to take care of outdoor feral cats in Côte Saint-Luc and beyond. Unfortunately, this year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our  live concert is cancelled. However, we are excited to be bringing you an online variety show, launching on Thursday, October 22 at www.cotesaintluc.org/catscommittee and on our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/CSLTNR) where sponsors and donors will be recognized. This fundraiser is so very instrumental in helping us to take care of the stray cats in our community. Our dedicated volunteers spearheaded by C.S.L. City Councillor Mike Cohen, spend countless hours ensuring that the needs of these animals are met. We are notified when stray cats are roaming the streets and set up safe and cruelty-free traps in places where the cats often frequent. Even though it may take awhile to trap them, our volunteers are determined to give them a better life. While some cats are feral and unable to be rehomed, many of these cats are often abandoned. It is our mission, have them spayed or neutered, and then find them a fur-ever home. This fundraiser allows us to buy food and year-round shelters for feral cats to sleep who unfortunately wish to remain outdoors. Since this is a vital source of lost revenue benefiting our feline friends, we are now working on an online YouTube event that will encompass musical talent, comedy routines and video messages from well-known Montrealers. In addition, last year, we held a very successful raffle and we are extremely grateful to all those merchants who donated items for this cause. This year the raffle will be held online in the hopes of reaching a much larger audience than last year. We are once again counting on your support and hope that you will donate items of your choice to benefit this cause. We will be making themed gift baskets that are sure to delight our raffle participants. We are all in this together! We thank you for your much-needed support.
