Greetings!
Our annual charity auction “Wags to Riches” is coming up on May 2 at the Retreat Farm and we encourage you to buy your tickets to this event early at as they are going fast and we will sell out.
Buying your ticket before April 19 enters you to win a handcrafted miniature ‘glam cat’ with a removable mask (pictured above) made by local artist Wren Watts custom for this event.
Over 100 fantastic prizes donated by local businesses await guests in the silent and live auctions.
Prizes include:

- A new snowboard donated by Burrow’s Sporting Goods
- All inclusive trips to Italy, Sweden, and Ireland
- Gift cards to local restaurants, experiences, and shopping (including TJ Buckley’s, Brattleboro Sauna, a book store bundle, stays at the One Cat Bed and Breakfast, a stay and movie night at the Latchis, Fire Arts Vermont, massages, facials, yoga classes)

- SO MUCH MORE!
A full list of prizes to bid on and win is available here.
This year, the theme is Great Catsby Masquerade. 1920s attire is encouraged, but not required. There will be a best dressed contest for those who would like to participate.
Tickets include access to bid on the prizes, a complimentary beverage, delicious food from The Porch, and a mini print photo by Ezra Distler Photography to commemorate the evening.
We will hold a mini 50/50 raffle during the evening and we encourage you to bring cash to participate. The winner will take home half the cash that night. Last year’s winner took home $500.
In addition to the silent and live auctions, WCHS will raise funds to continue transporting dogs and cats from at-risk situations to their shelter for medical care and adoption. Our goal is to raise $15,000 to save 150 lives. Funds go towards the cost of traveling the animals, examinations and certificates, fuel, and medical care including vaccinations and spay and neuter surgeries.
All funds raised at Wags to Riches will go directly towards the care of the thousands of animals we’ll have the privilege of helping this year.
This is an incredible opportunity to come together as a community and make a difference to the lives of vulnerable animals who need us most, and we look forward to seeing you all there.
Don't wait any longer, get your tickets today!
