After one unbelievable year of “pandemic chaos,” the springtime “Power of Angels” Kitty Angels Fundraiser is once again going to take place on May 1-2 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

All the kitties and vendors have taken the necessary precautions and are excited to have you get out of the house and come visit with them for some fabulous finds, great “free” entertainment, and most important of all, to help Kitty Angels.

The weekend will showcase artists and artisans, crafters, professionals, food vendors, flea market and yard sales in a county-fair type atmosphere, featuring a live demonstration of oil painting and techniques by artist Eric Nickola, dba WolfpacStudios. Nickola’s artwork will be on display and for sale; he also offers commission work.

You’ll be able to grab a delicious breakfast or lunch prepared by Mal’s Grill. The bands and soloists for the event, consist of “Joey Peavey,” “Side Effects,” “The 5 to 9 Band,” “Jeff Robert,” “North Sound Duo,” “Levi Maxwell,” “Jeff Damon” and Richard Parker as “Elvis!”

Representatives of the Amherst Animal Hospital will be on hand, and Mapledell Farm of Townsend, Massachusetts, will bring a traveling petting zoo and also offer horse and pony rides for all.

Featured throughout the fundraising weekend and into the month of June, is an electrifying raffle of numerous and diverse prizes, all generously donated by local and national businesses, professional sports teams, private individuals and some of the awesome on-site vendors.

Kitty Angels Inc. is the sole beneficiary of this event. They are a no-kill cat shelter, and are made up of all unpaid volunteers, dedicated to rescuing stray and abandoned cats and kittens, furnishing them with treatment for injuries or other health issues and then placing them into new forever homes with compatible owners.
