This year’s Linda J. Hughes Memorial Golf Scramble will play a huge role in helping us keep keep our shelter open and fulfill our mission which is to rescue and find homes for the forgotten cats and kittens in our area – the ones who are homeless, abandoned, and mistreated. We believe all cats deserve the chance to live, love and be loved. We give every treatable and savable cat the second chance it deserves.

The Linda J. Hughes Memorial Golf Scramble will be held Sunday, September 12, 2021. The scramble will be held at Hidden Creek Golf Course, 4975 Utica Sellersburg Road, Sellersburg. IN again this year. Registration and lunch will be at 12 noon with a shot gun start at 1 p.m. Prizes will be awarded following play. The registration fee will be $110. 

Linda was one of APA’s founders and is missed by all who knew and loved her. She lost a valiant battle with cancer several years ago.

Please consider a sponsorship and/or playing in the scramble. We need your help to keep the Fabulous Felines of APA healthy and happy until they find their furever homes. Learn more in our brochure.

You can support APA by playing in the scramble, sponsoring a hole, or selecting one of the other sponsorships opportunities. A lot of people sponsor a hole in memory or honor of their feline friends and we can even have their picture printed on the sign. Sponsorships are available in prices ranging from $50 to $1,000. 2021 Sponsorship Form

We hope the kitty gods smile on us this year as we try to get our fundraising events back on track. On Friday, October 15, 2021 the Fabulous Felines of APA will be hosting our Second Annual Kitties & Cocktails at the Calumet fundraiser – an evening filled with delicious food, a fabulous DJ, live and silent auctions, and more, all with a Halloween theme. The event will be 6-10 p.m. at the Calumet Club, 1614 E. Spring St., New Albany, Indiana. Some of the APA’s Fabulous Felines will also be at the event to greet guests.

Your donation of a silent auction item or gift certificate would be very much appreciated and will allow us to continue our good work. For every donation you give, you will receive a “Paws in the Air!” on our Facebook page and, if possible, we’ll tag your page as well to show your support for APA.

We are pleased to announce that Purrs in the City, an all local arts and crafts show will return to St. Augustine Parish Hall, 315 E. Chestnut St., Jeffersonville, IN. The event is open from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. We will be following all CDC guidelines in effect at the time of the event.

Admission is free and with 30 booths, there is surely something for everyone. Be watching for the list of artists and crafters.

Be watching APA’s Purrs in the City Facebook page for a full list of the artists and crafters. We couldn’t do this event without all these fabulous cat-loving vendors so a big Paws in the Air to them! Some of them are even donating a portion of their proceeds back to APA. 

November’s chilly weather makes it a perfect time for hot soups and chili. Purrs in the City will be a great place to warm up with things like:

• Beef chili
• Chicken tortilla soup
• Vegan chili
• Beef stew
• Chicken and dumplings
• Biscuits and gravy
• Vegetarian chili
• Broccoli cheese soup
• Black bean soup
• Vegetable soup

The APA elves will also be busy in the kitchen making sweet treats including:

• Pumpkin bread
• Banana bread
• Carrot cake
• Pumpkin spice cake
• Pumpkin roll

100% of the proceeds from this event will go to APA, so we can continue to rescue and find homes for the forgotten cats and kittens in the Southern Indiana and Louisville area. Unlike other area animal shelters, APA is totally staffed by volunteers and exists solely on donations and fundraisers like Purrs in the City Art & Craft Fair.

“This event is so important to APA to help us raise much needed funds. Each year we take in more than 200 kittens. The average cost to get a kitten ready for adoption is $150 and our adoption fee is only $80. Proceeds from this event will help us continue to take care of the forgotten cats and kittens in our area,” said Christina Mattingly, APA’s Fundraising Manager.

Even if you can’t make it to Purrs in the City, online donations are always welcome at www.apa-pets.org.
