This Saturday, dozens of dapper guests will attend the Richmond SPCA Fur Ball at The Jefferson Hotel. The formal event is the shelters largest fundraiser.

Proceeds go directly towards the SPCA’s Cinderella Fund. The account pools resources for medical treatment of dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens — which make up ~80% of the animals at the facility.

Tickets to the dinner are sold out, but access to online auctions, a raffle, and Angel Tree donations are available for those interested.

Keep your eye out for pictures of the tail-wagging tradition the Parade of Pets, where guests and their four-legged family will strut down the hotel’s grand staircase.

Bonus: Find your future furry friend at the SPCA’s adoption center at 2519 Hermitage Rd. They’re open every day minus Tuesdays.
