Gift sale benefits group that cares
for cats
Feline-themed gifts such as jewelry, cross-stitch Christmas ornaments
and catnip toys will be on sale today from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. next
to The Gallery in the University Center.
Proceeds from the sale, sponsored by the UTA Campus Cat Coalition,
will go toward medical expenses for stray and feral cats on campus,
a part of the organization’s trap-neuter-return policy.
Member Debbie Malone and other volunteers made many of the objects
by hand. The highest-priced items are hand-crafted pet beds that
run for $10.
