The Lost Dogs' Home Is Throwing a Meownificent Garden Party Filled with Cats

If acts of kindness are among your new year's resolutions, then the Lost Dogs' Home would like to invite you to a garden party. The organisation currently has more than 100 cats and kittens in need of homes, and what better way to meet them than at a summery evening gathering, in between snacks and chats?

The Meownificent Garden Party will be happening at the Home's shelter in North Melbourne, on Wednesday 24 January from 4pm. All felines in attendance will be desexed, microchipped, vaccinated and treated for worms and fleas. Should you find a cat that takes your fancy, you can take him/her with you for free. Meanwhile, kittens will be $110 each — that's half the usual price. To take a peek at the guests' profiles in advance, head to their website.

"What better way to start 2018, than by welcoming a new furry family member to fill your home with fun and companionship?" said Ben Pocock, general manager, shelter and outreach services at the Lost Dogs' Home. "Your perfect match is bound to be here waiting for you."

The party, which will go on until 8pm, will also feature summery treats, giveaways, games and activities, with people of all ages welcome. Don't forget that, even though kittens and cats are easy to fall in love with at first sight, they do need years of ongoing cuddles and care, so have a good, long think before bundling a cutie into your arms and rushing off into the sunset.

The Meownificent Garden Party takes place at 4pm on January 24 at The Lost Dogs' Home, 2 Gracie Street, North Melbourne. For more information, visit their website.
