Kittenpalooza, cat rescue nonprofit, returns to Purr Haus in Emmaus June 3-4

Kittenpalooza, a family friendly celebration and fundraiser for two of the Lehigh Valley’s hardest working small cat rescue nonprofits will return to Purr Haus in Emmaus on the weekend of June 3-4.

From 2pm til 5pm on Saturday, June 3 and 11am til 2pm on June 4, volunteers from Aunt Helen’s Cats in Need of Hellertown and Crazy Cat Chicks Rescue from Kunkletown will be on hand to introduce visitors to adoptable kittens and share information about cat rescue.

There will be a basket raffle and Purr Haus will provide complimentary refreshments and donate a portion of sales during the event.

Attendees can win a door prize by bringing a donation of kitten food, litter, KMR or other items. A full list of requested items can be found on Purr Haus’ Facebook page.

The event coincides with “kitten season,” the time of year when feral and stray cats are most likely to give birth. Many kittens fall prey to predators, parasites and car accidents and die before reaching si months of age.

“Kittens born outside suffer.”

said Purr Haus owner Laurie Mason
Schroeder.

“We need to support cat rescue volunteers who care for homeless kittens and work to decrease the feral cat population in the Lehigh Valley.”

Photos and videos are encouraged during the event.

Purr Haus, located at 27 S. 7th Street in Emmaus is Lehigh Valley’s only cat-themed boutique, offering “The Best Stuff for Cats and The People Who Love Them.”

They carry a carefully curated stock of products emphasizing brands that promote cat health and give back to the cat rescue community.

Emmaus Cat Shop to host “unusual cats” on April 1

Purr Haus, a one-of-a-kind boutique carrying “The Best Stuff for Cats and the People Who Love Them,” will welcome several “unusual cats” for an adoption event on Saturday, April 1., 2:30 to 4:00 p.m.

The strange-looking “cats” are seeking homes through Starting Over Animal Rescue one of several local rescue organizations that team with Purr Haus to find adopters.

Purr Haus owner Laurie Mason Schroeder said she was happy to welcome the animals, even though they’re not the store’s typical visitors.

“Cats are usually sleek and quiet,”

she noted.

“These ones tend to wag their tails a lot, bark and even slobber.

But they’re really cute.”

Visitors to the shop during SOAR’s visit can take a chance at winning a $25 Purr Haus gift card by donating a bag of pet food (Blue Buffalo chicken and rice for dogs or Optimum from Pet Supplies Plus of any flavor are the preferred brands however any donation is welcome!) The winner will be drawn at the end of the event.

Purr Haus is located at 27 S. 7th Street in Emmaus, one block off Chestnut Street, behind CVS. The shop holds adoption events every Saturday and Sunday. To date, 72 cats have found their forever homes after visiting Purr Haus.

Starting Over Animal Rescue facilitates high quality affordable spay/neuter surgeries for feral, stray, and house pets and provides shelter to abused, neglected, and abandoned animals.
