Cindy Carter is downsizing her handmade miniature collection and Niagara-on-the-Lake residents have the opportunity to get their hands on them — in support of a good cause.

To support NOTL Cats Rescue, Carter has donated several miniatures to Pet Valu in Virgil, where they will be on display for bidding. 

Carter, who handmakes the miniatures along with her friend Linda, said that this partnership allows them to keep on hobbying without running out of space in their homes.

“We both love doing it, but for a small hobby it sure does take up a lot of room,” Carter told The Lake Report.

She brings in different models whenever one sells out and a bidding sheet is available at the front of the store. 

Money raised from sales of the miniatures will go toward NOTL Cats Rescue and helping house kitties in need. 

Winners are urged to pick up their item if they’ve won past auctions.

Those interested in buying other miniatures including houses, furniture and more can reach Carter at 905-468-5063 before 6 p.m., daily.
