Painted Chair Auction Countdown!

IAR's major fundraising event, the Annual Painted Chair (and more) Auction is only a few weeks away. Be sure that it is on your calendar! It will be held on July 19th at the Eno River Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, from 6:30pm - 10:00pm!

There will be music by Cattoy, catered food and wine, and fun for everyone. You can bid on fabulous items such as this Lynn Turner hand-crocheted cat bed, an item that was extremely popular in last year's auction. To see more information about this item and others that will be up for bid, click here. We hope to see you there!


Kitten Season Is Here! Funds Are Sorely Needed!

IAR has recently been receiving hundreds of calls each week about kittens and puppies in need across the triangle area. Thankfully, due to incredible dedication of our volunteers who live by the credo, ‘there’s always room for one more’, we’ve been able to save so many little lives. However, it is estimated that each kitten or puppy rescued will require approximately $150-$200 in veterinary and other necessary expenses, prior to adoption. Given the large number of kittens and puppies recently saved, we need to raise additional funds to help with their care. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation so that we can continue rescuing the animals that so desperately need us. The animals thank you, and as always, every single donated dollar goes directly to helping them. These four little orange babies, recently rescued by IAR, are only three days old. Will you help with their expenses? Please click here to help.

Congratulations to Greta, Lydia, Spooky, Beekay, Atlas, Leona, Monk, Paddington, and Parker for finding their forever homes! Can you find a place in your heart for one of our other IAR animals?
