announcement is made by Jane Dorsey, Cat Care Society Volunteer Coordinator, who says "The Santa Paws
Festival is a holiday tradition at our cat shelter in Lakewood, and the time when our dedicated volunteers
show off their amazing baking skills and wreath making talents to help raise funds for our cat residents and
community outreach programs. New to the Festival this year are Jingle Cats created by CCS volunteers and the
‘Christmas Cats Auction.’ Saturday will be Family Day, with face painting and tree ornament crafting for

Jingle Cats are debuting at the Santa Paws Festival this year with a total of 75
darling kitty tchotchkes spray painted ‘pearl mist’ and adorned with red ribbon
collars and brass bells. Those spending $100 or more at the Festival will get “pick
of the litter” for their ‘free gift’ Jingle Cat, regardless of size. The promotion
starts at noon on Friday. Note: Supplies are limited, so the Jingle Cat free offer is
first come, first served—limit one per person while supply lasts.
