Weekend Rummage Sale Benefits Abandoned Cats
Email This Post
While on my way downtown this morning I saw something that caught my attention. At the vacant lot on the corner of Thurber Lane and Soquel Drive, just south of Dominican and opposite Wells Fargo Bank, a lot of trucks, boxes, people and stuff — lots of stuff — were being put out on tarps and tables that were quickly filling up the large, weedy lot.
I took some pictures and talked with Lynne Achterberg who is also project manager and a board member for an organization called Project Purr (watch the short video). I found out that it is a non-profit organization intended to care for abandoned cats and their feral offspring. Funds from events like this weekend’s go toward paying for spaying and neutering in order to keep feral populations in check and to prevent their suffering. Project Purr volunteers organize and host a rummage sale twice a year at this location.
It was still early when I left but according to Lynne, the stuff won’t stop coming until this evening when a security team will take over and she and the other volunteers can get some sleep before returning early when the gate opens sharply at 7 a.m. tomorrow. Frankly, I’ll be back, too!
