Mark your calendars now for the

2026 Paws & Purrsonality Gala, scheduled

for Saturday, October 3, 2026 at the

Salem Convention Center!




About the Event

A big thank you to everyone who joined us at the 2025 Paws & Purrsonality gala or who participated in the auction online. In total, we raised over $90,000 for Friends of Felines' programs like the Community Medical Fund and Spay it Forward, as well as the general medical fund. At the event, over 200 animal lovers came together to support our mission of providing vital services to felines and their human companions throughout the Willamette Valley.


Mark your calendars for next year's event, already scheduled for Saturday, October 3, 2026!


Since opening our doors in 1994, we have found homes for over 20,000 cats and kittens. And since opening our low cost spay and neuter clinic in late 2021, we have also performed almost 20,000 lifesaving surgeries. Without the generosity of our supporters, we could not perform these vital services. An example of this is the story of Mason, featured at our gala in 2023. To see how far we've come since our founding in 2004, our 2024 video tells that story. Our 2025 video tells the harrowing story of tiny kittens that fell down an abandoned pipe and the race against time to save them.
