HAVE A HEART 2025 KENNEL SPONSORSHIP

Show you care 365 days a year.

Our “Have A Heart” Kennel Sponsorship Program has been so popular that we are offering the opportunity to sponsor dog and/or cat kennels in 2025! For a donation of $100 a beautiful orange-colored heart will be hung for you on one of our cat or dog kennels (your choice) at the shelter for one year. This heart will be engraved with your choice of text, so put your heart into your heart’s inscription! You can dedicate your heart to your favorite pet, person, or even write a poem… your only limit is 150 characters and your imagination!

After your year of sponsorship has ended, an HSCC staff member will contact you to see if you would like to renew your sponsorship for a $50 donation or pick up your heart as a memento of your commitment to the homeless animals of our community. Your orange heart will join the many red (2021), gold (2022), blue (2023), and silver (2024) hearts that adorn our kennels, symbolizing your unconditional love of our shelter animals.

Use the link below to reserve your 2025 heart. Please contact Jane Bowers, jane@catawbahumane.org if you have any questions.

 

YELLOW SOFA SILENT AUCTION

In Honor of Rescue Re-Tail's 3rd Anniversary!

The number one question we get at Rescue Re-Tail is: "How much for the yellow sofas?" For the past three years, our answer has always been the same—"They're NOT for sale."

But guess what? We're finally ready to part with one of these iconic pieces! To celebrate our 3rd anniversary in business, we’re hosting a Yellow Sofa Silent Auction this February.

We have two vintage crushed yellow velvet sofas from the 1970s that are in showroom-quality condition—a rare find! This auction is for ONE of these stunning sofas, and bidding starts at $250 with increments of $10.

The auction ends on Friday, February 28th at 1:30 p.m. If you’re the lucky winner, you’ll need to arrange for pickup within the week. Please note, there is a reserve price on the sofa that must be met.

For the first time ever, you can also place your bid over the phone! Call us at (980) 858-4763 to participate.

Stop by the store during business hours to see the sofas in person and place your bid!

Don't miss out on this one-of-a-kind opportunity to own a piece of our history!

"PITTY PARTY" SPONSORSHIP

Help a shelter dog find their furever home.

We’re excited to announce a new initiative called the "Pitty Party"—a special way to support our beloved pitbulls and pit mixes while they wait for their forever families! These incredible dogs are often overlooked in shelters, so we're asking for your help to give them a little extra love and attention.

When you sponsor a dog for $300, you’ll cover their general care while they're with us, and pay their adoption fee. But that’s not all! The sponsorship includes a fun “party” for the dog—complete with treats, a special cookie or cake, and media that shows them celebrating with their favorite staff members and volunteers. It’s a chance to give them the joy they deserve while helping them get noticed by potential adopters.

February's Pitty Party candidate is Bentley. For more information or to sponsor Bentley, please reach out to Jane Bowers, jane@catawbahumane.org.

Let’s give Bentley and all our pitties the boost they need to find the loving homes they deserve!
