On April 3, over 200 guests attended Save-A-Pet Animal Rescue and Adoption Center, Inc.’s 13th Annual “Evening for the Love of Animals” Fur Ball Event at Flowerfield Celebrations Catering in St. James to raise money for the shelter’s programs and homeless companion animals. By the end of the event, approximately $30,000 was raised for Save-A-Pet.

The Fur Ball event is a formal night that was organized to bring people together who share a common bond: an undying love for animals. The money raised is used to continue Save-A-Pet’s commitment to programs such as saving lives of homeless animals, pet adoption, spaying and neutering, feral cat TNR (trap, neuter and return), humane education, and public awareness.

At the event, guests enjoyed an open bar, hors d’oeuvres, dinner, dessert, and live music by Wiggum and harpist Ryan Taliercio. Attendees had the opportunity to participate in a silent auction and raffles�with all proceeds benefitting Save-A-Pet.

The honorees for this year’s Fur Ball were Mark Lesko, Executive Director, Accelerate LI; and Gail Waller and Wendy Waller. After the Waller sisters accepted their prestigious award, they surprised the shelter with a $10,000 donation for its programs, services, and homeless animals.
