>Bake Sale and Potluck in November

>
November vegan bake sale
Due to the appearance of a litter of kittens born to a feral mother in the colony we keep an eye on, and our unwillingness to kick these little ones back on the street when they can be rehabilitated and adopted, SARO’s foster cat population has doubled in the past week to 10. Pictures and descriptions of all of our foster cats will be updated shortly on our petfinder page at http://www.petfinder.com/pet-search?shelterid=NY820. Our past two bake sales this month have been great- we made over $250 this month, which we applied to our veterinary tab. To prepare for food and litter costs for these little guys while we prepare them for adoption, we have scheduled another bake sale in November. Help is needed to cover the table from 10am-12:20pm. Please email info@syracuseanimalrights.com if you can stay at the table and sell baked goods during this time.
As always, we also need bakers to stock our table with delicious treats. Popular items are banana, zuchinni or pumpkin bread, and cookies. Baked goods can be dropped off at any time during the bake sale, or arrangements can be made to drop them off the day before the bake sale by emailing info@syracuseanimalrights.com
