Every bid helps a cat get home.

For 21 years Candy’s Cats has been taking in the cats nobody else could, more than 8,500 of them, and getting them healthy, vetted and adopted. This holiday season, local businesses and friends of the rescue have donated gift cards, baskets, experiences and more so you can shop for gifts and support the cats at the same time.

How it works
Register as a bidder (about a minute, and you’ll need a card on file). Browse the items under the Auction tab and place a bid on anything you like. If someone outbids you, you’ll get a text so you can jump back in. Bidding opens Tuesday, November 17 and closes Giving Tuesday, December 1 at 9 pm Eastern. Last-minute bids extend the clock a few minutes, so keep an eye on it. Winners are charged automatically when the auction closes.

Picking up your item
All items are picked up in person at the Apopka Adoption Cottage, 307 W. Main Street, Apopka. Pickup hours are Wednesday through Friday 1 to 4 pm and Saturdays 11 am to 3 pm, starting Wednesday, December 2. We don’t ship or email items, so please only bid if you can come by the cottage. Every item shows its fair market value; any amount you pay above that may be tax deductible.

Where the money goes
Winning bids go to the general fund that keeps the rescue running: food, litter, vet care, and everything else between intake and adoption day.

Thank you to the businesses who donated items. Want to add one? Email jeff@candyscats.org or call or text 321-474-6071.
