With the holiday season fast approaching, VOKRA has some incredibly talented supporters who are selling their purrfect original handmade pieces with proceeds going to VOKRA kitties. Here are some ways you can help make a meaningful impact for the kitties AND find something special for yourself and your loved ones.

All VOKRA donations go directly to funding the supplies, equipment, veterinary and operational costs required to ensure the cats in our care are warm, safe and healthy. Each year, more than 1,400 cats and kittens are rescued thanks to the support of people like you!

Cat Advent Calendars - Catcouver

Catcouver’s annual holiday fundraiser Give a Foster their Best Holiday has already started! They will donate 100% of proceeds from the sale of these specific advent calendars to VOKRA.

The calendar comes in a box with stickers to decorate it. Each surprise is placed in a food safe craft bag: it can be either a different treat or toy everyday. Everything is safe for a cat to play with. There are three different levels: basic, regular and premium.

You can buy the advent calendars for foster kitties from their website, and they will donate the calendars to VOKRA foster cats/kittens.

If you choose to purchase an advent calendar for your own kitties, they will also give donations to VOKRA with those sales and with all other services and merchandise.

The fundraiser will continue until they are out of calendars.
