FURR TO HOST RAYMOND THE AMISH COMIC APRIL 23 AT THE PHOENIX
This adults only event will include a buffet dinner, cash bar, high value basket
raffle, 50/50 and full comedy show, all proceeds to benefit the rescue’s work with cats.
NAZARETH, PA.— Feline Urban Rescue and Rehab (FURR), a Lehigh Valley and Warren County N.J. 501(c)(3) dedicated to the care and rehabilitation of community cats, will host an adults only evening of dinner and comedy April 23 (5:30 p.m.) featuring Raymond The Amish Comic, at The Phoenix, 515 West Mauch Chunk Street, Nazareth. Tickets are $55 and available through Ticket Stripe, www.ticketstripe.com/FURRComedyforCats.
FURR serves the entire Lehigh Valley, Warren County, N.J. and even the Poconos. In its nearly 20 years of existence it has helped thousands of cats. In 2020 alone, FURR matched more than 700 families and cats through adoption and trapping, neutering and returning an additional 700 “community cats” into supported colonies.
With about 40 volunteers and no official building or facilities, FURR has worked with dedicated individuals, Lehigh County Humane Society, Let’s Trap Lehigh Valley, Furry Feet Rescue and a variety of good-hearted local veterinarians. FURR accepts cats when no one else will, including cats adopted from other animal welfare organizations and cats left behind when people are evicted from their homes.
FURR also works with farmers through a free barn cat program and promotes animal companionship for senior citizens through their Senior for Seniors program, where an older adult fosters a senior cat and the organization will provide the cat’s veterinary needs and future care.
All proceeds will benefit the cats, as FURR has no paid staff. People wishing to help can visit felineurbanrescueandrehab.org and fill out a volunteer application. FURR always needs foster families, drivers and trappers.
