AMHERST – Kitty Angels, an all-volunteer organization stewarding a regional no-kill shelter whose mission is the rescue of stray and abandoned cats in New Hampshire and in Massachusetts, was well supported at a festive May 3-4 event, “The Power of Angels — Kitty Angels Fundraiser,” presented at Treasures Antiques, Collectables & More.

Treasures’ owners Sherry and Rick Tobin, are the hosts of two annual Kitty Angels’ fundraisers for the past 30 years of Kitty Angels’ 41 years of operation. The fun-filled family events draw artisans, crafters, vendors and big crowds.

“This year’s raffle at Treasures of 68 amazing raffle items, including two chances for an overnight stay at Homewood Suites by Hilton in Nashua, will run through June 3 with tickets available here daily, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.,” said Rick. “The kitties need all the help they can get.”

Recipients of Kitty Angels care document the stray cat “Hoodlum” who wandered neighborhoods unneutered and severely wounded from street fights with other cats. His rescue and surgery led to a forever home.

Elsewhere, “Peace Baby” is reported as rescued wet and putrid from an infected burn. She recovered fully with weeks of hospitalization, thanks to Kitty Angels.
