EMPORIA — Around 40 people turned out for a kitten party at the Emporia Recreation Center Saturday, as a fundraiser for the Street Cats Club.
SCC founder Victoria Partridge told the Emporia Gazette the turnout exceeded their modest expectations.
Ten kittens in attendance were orphans brought into SCC’s foster program, Partridge said. All will soon be available for adoption.
The Street Cats Club was founded in 2019. The trap-neuter-return program has already spayed/neutered more cats than it did during the entirety of last year, with the group’s current count at 220 cats so far for 2023, the newspaper reported.
