2014 Garden State Cat Expo
Scarlet Paws volunteers show adoptable cats at July event in Somerset
(7/19-20/2013) Scarlet Paws representatives Mary Ann Cancio, Lisa Urbani, Carol Gibson, Mary Botteon and Caryn Radick held down a very busy fort at the 2014 Garden State Cat Expo on Saturday, July 19 and Sunday, July 20. Both days were full of cats and crowds. Two of our cats won ribbons: Finn was voted Best Shelter Pet Tail on Saturday, and Rita was voted Best Shelter Pet Tail on Sunday! They each left the event with Award Ribbons, and even better, both cats were adopted! We had a great table location, and organizers have already invited us back next year.
