Cats, crafts and Christmastime. It doesn’t get a whole lot better than that.
And for their first Christmas season as Long Beach’s first cat cafe, Feline Good Social Club is planning a “purr-fect” evening!
Friday evening, December 6th, they invite all fellow cat people to come create Christmastime art with them, at their first “Paint & Purr” fundraiser event.
This will be a workshop, with an instructor onsite, where purrticipants get to create a Christmastime “kitty snowman” painting.
Feline Good’s Facebook page says they will provide all materials, plus instructions. And their 25 (approximately) resident felines will provide the purrs!
Guests are invited to bring their own wine and snacks, and this is going to be fun. Plus, you may be saving a life.
Meow? I mean, how? Well, while tickets are $45, $15 of that gets donated to Feline Good Social Club. Their parent nonprofit, Long Beach Felines, has been rescuing abused and abandoned kitties for approximately the past twenty years, according to founder Pam Leslie.
And at least fifteen of the cute purring denizens have found “furrever” homes since FGSC opened its doors in August. That’s fifteen and counting, given that that figure is as of their Grand Opening ceremony on October 26th.
But if you go, beware those “cloud kittens”. They’re all but irresistible!
There were three of them at Feline Good when I last visited. And if we didn’t already have two perfectly good cats in charge of our household, I know what would have happened!
But–we don’t want you to wind up hissing, if FGSC’s “Holiday Paint & Purr Event” sells out. The deadline for booking this is November 22, 2019. Here’s the link for information.
And if you’ve been trying to come up with something special fora cat-lover on your gift list this year, Feline Good and yours truly may just have a suggestion.
They’re currently planning a second “Paint & Purr” event in January, for anyone who can’t make the December 6th event, according to their Facebook page! So you may just like to contact them and see when they’ll start accepting reservations–and if they might give you a cute “kitty receipt” to giftwrap or stick in your lucky recipient’s Christmas stocking.
