James Hooks To Attend 2nd Annual Fur Ball In Los Angeles

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) December 2, 2009 -- James Hooks, author of the upcoming black culture critique 'Suicide', will be among the many attendees of the 2nd annual "Fur Ball" gala on December 5, 2009.

Hosted by longtime Kitten Rescue supporter and former volunteer Jenna Fischer (“The Office”), the Fur Ball will feature cocktails and dinner, live entertainment, a film presentation about Kitten Rescue, a silent auction, and awards for special members of the Kitten Rescue community, presented by actress Tricia Helfer (“Battlestar Galactica”, “Burn Notice”).

“We started out as a couple of people intercepting baby kittens as they were being brought into a city shelter and have grown to where we can rescue, rehabilitate and find homes for 1,000 cats and kittens every year,” explains Ben Lehrer, President of Kitten Rescue. “We also have our own no-kill sanctuary that currently houses about 150 homeless cats.”

“These are difficult times for animal rescue,” adds Lehrer. “We are seeing an increase in the numbers of cats and kittens being turned into kill shelters, left behind in abandoned apartments and foreclosed homes, or simply dumped on the street. It seems that when times get tough, people’s pets get the boot, and our services are needed more than ever.”

Funds raised at the “Fur Ball” will go to support Kitten Rescue’s programs and the Kitten Rescue Sanctuary.
