THOMASVILLE —
Miss Kitty and her feline sanctuary made their community debut earlier this year.
Miss Kitty’s Magnificent Sale, also a first, is Saturday.
The event, a fundraiser for Miss Kitty Feline Sanctuary Inc., is from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at the old Stone’s site on East Pine Tree Boulevard opposite Publix.
Antiques, art, tools, electronics and collectibles are some of the items that will be available.
“We’re going to have a lot of miscellaneous items. We have lamps, old furniture,” said Karen Lightfoot, sale co-chairman and Miss Kitty board member.
“We have a lot of antique dishes and glassware,” added Michelle Westberg, sale co-chairman. “We have a glass from the turn of the 20th century.”
Also for sale will be an old clock, a new printer, televisions, a sofa, books, a rocker-recliner, a glider-rocker and a multilevel cat tree.
Lightfoot said oil paintings and prints of cats will be for sale, along with end tables, rolling office chairs and a kitchen table and chairs.
“We have lots of treasures, wonderful finds,” Lightfoot said.
Crafts supplies, key-entry brass doorknobs, children toys and Christmas items will be available. Also for sale will be an artificial Christmas tree complete with lights.
Proceeds will go to the Miss Kitty Feline Sanctuary, a Covington Avenue facility licensed by the Georgia Department of Agriculture. The facility is a no-kill, no-cage, all-volunteer cat sanctuary.
“It receives no government support,” said Jerry Henderson, Miss Kitty Feline Sanctuary president. “It operates solely from tax-deductible donations from friends and sponsors.”
Purchases at the Saturday sale are tax-deductible.
Henderson said proceeds from the sale will be used to pay for neutering and spaying of cats.
About 20 cats and kittens are in residence at the new feline sanctuary. “Some of these are still in quarantine,” Henderson explained.
