Dear editor:

Thank you so very much for the wonderful exposure in The Lake Report prior to our cat rescue event, “Fundraiser supports NOTL Cats Rescue,” (Nov. 26). 

It was a huge success and certainly exceeded our expectations.

A huge thank you to Niagara-on-the-Lake residents who ventured out Friday night. We realize the weather was damp and rainy.

The donations were incredible, generous and greatly appreciated. 

The list includes: $1,385 in cash and cheques, including $50 donated by my friend Lesley, who sold porch gnomes and gave $5 from each sale Friday night; 350 pounds of food (dry and wet); cat treats; cat toys; litter and litter trays; scratching posts; cat bed and pet carrier.

It was not our usual open house menu, but, regardless, I believe the treats were enjoyed. We are very grateful to friends Carolyn and Kaylee, who baked and made Christmas kettle corn.  And, of course, candy canes for the children. And we had hot apple cider.
