"The Great Catsby: A Roaring 20's Tribute to 120 Years of the LA/SPCA! "
 

Held Saturday, November 15, 2008 at The Louisiana SPCA, Howling Success is our largest and most important annual fundraiser, which provides much needed funding for the shelter's daily operations. Hearts were unleashed and hundreds of animal lovers came out, braving the cold, in celebration of 120 years of service, all for the love of animals. On behalf of the LA/SPCA staff and volunteers, and the thousands of companion animals we rescue from cruelty and neglect every year, thank you everyone for coming out and sharing a wonderful evening with us. It was a great fundraiser - thanks to the generosity of those that believe in our mission. Please let our donors know how special they are for getting involved!
