Fur Ball 2018

Our annual Fur Ball was held on Saturday, October 13th at the Franco-American Club at 44 Park Street, Beverly, from 7-11 PM. We had lots of yummy food from Casual Catering, great live music (provided by the band Ditto) and many very desirable items in our our raffles and silent auctions…among them a football autographed by Patriots’ Rob Gronkowski! (see below for more)  We believe a good time was had by all!

Thank you to all our supporters and friends who attended, donated items and helped make the event a success!

It’s all about rescuing and finding good homes for the animals, one precious life at a time… ❤️

Spring/Summer Newsletter

Hi Friends,
Here’s our latest newsletter, hope you’ll take a few minutes to read it. This issue is mostly about cats, but we’d like to add that we also love dogs (and all animals) and try to help however we can! We don’t have any foster homes for dogs and the Animal Control Officer in Beverly usually deals with canines, but we do network with other animal groups and animal-lovers frequently to help in any way possible. Thanks for all your support and interest!
