The Kankakee County Humane Foundation’s signature fundraiser, Paws and Purrs Petacular, returns Saturday, April 5.

This year’s event will be held from 5-9 p.m. at Quality Inn & Suites, 800 N. Kinzie Ave., Bradley.

Ticket sales for the dinner and silent live auction have been extended through Friday to fill the few remaining seats. Advance tickets are $60 and are available online at k3chf.org/events/2025pawspurrs.

All proceeds directly benefit the dogs and cats at KCHF.

“It’s raining cats and dogs - literally our shelter is filled with adoptable dogs and cats just waiting for their forever homes,” the foundation’s Facebook event post said.
