“People say, ‘I really don’t like cats, why should I support you?’ Well, that’s a good reason to support us,” jokes Joy Smith, co-founder and director for FieldHaven Feline Center in Lincoln. Certainly not just cat lovers will be at Classics, Cats & Cabernet on June 11 from 4-8 p.m. Highlights like sangria snow cones and hot fudge sundaes would lure just about anyone. The cat shelter’s biggest fund-raising event of the year boasts dinner and a variety of drinks, too—both included in the ticket price. In addition, a horse barn’s stalls are decorated and turned into individual wine tasting rooms; restored or mint-condition classic cars, boats and trailers are parked on FieldHaven’s beautiful, shaded grounds; while pulled pork sandwiches, exciting auction items and a DJ turn the family-friendly evening into a full-blown summer affair. “It’s at least tripled in size since [our first event]. It just keeps getting better and better,” says Smith. FieldHaven supports a variety of efforts—not just adoptions. The center also spays and neuters feral cats, microchips pets, bottle feeds orphaned kittens, aids the community with cat behavior issues, finds forever ranches for barn cats, and socializes rescues with the most tragic of stories.
