On June 28th the General Manager/Owner of the Fort Collins Foxes, Kurt Collichio, invited us to have a booth and bring some adoptable kitties to their baseball game. It was also the Throwback Jersey Game where the players where special baseball jerseys which are auctioned off. All of the money raised would go to help the kitties at FCCR.
We set up a booth with all of our information, and also brought along an adult cat and a kitten: Jake & Chase.

Our wonderful volunteer, Chandra, came with me to help man the booth. Jake had a lot of fun hanging out on our table and being the center of attention! At one point he even gave the kitten a bath. We also loved seeing the Foxes players checking out the adoptable kitties notebook, and petting Jake & Chase.
We had lots of FTC Foxes fans come over to meet the kitties and learn more about our organization. The kids especially loved meeting the kitties - and Jake hammed it up for them!
We also got some donations!
Kurt Colicchio is a cat lover, and has been a huge supporter of FCCR.
He is a great guy and we really appreciated the opportunity to represent FCCR at the game.
In addition, the jersey auction raised $150 for the homeless kitties in our community.
Hooray!
