Event Activities

  • Our main event is the walk! We’ll start at 9am for our half-mile walkers, followed by the mile walk around 9:30-10am.

    Fee is $15 per person for the half-mile walk, $25 per person for the mile walk. Kiddos are free! If you’re coming as a family, please indicate so on the form below!

    The mile walk is just short of a mile at 0.71 miles, so if you would like to loop…you are more than welcome to! (No extra charge!)

    Participants must sign-up & pay prior to the event, or purchase entry at check-in on the day.

  • We’ll have a table set up with photos of all the cats & kittens currently in our care! You’ll have the opportunity to see them & choose to sponsor one!

    Sponsorships are fully donation based, so please donate the amount you feel called to!

    For any donations above $10, you’ll receive a polaroid photo of the cat you sponsored!

  • There will be a table set up with a bunch of Calla’s Critter Rescue shirts!

    All proceeds from shirt sales go straight towards the care of the kitties, & you get to rep an awesome local rescue!

    Shirt Prices:

    Adult Shirts (sizes S-3XL): $35

    Kids Shirts (sizes S-XL): $25

  • IF we have a litter of kittens around this time, we will set up a small fenced in play pen where you can sit & play with the kittens. All children must have an adult with them, & adhere to rules posted about handling the kittens.

    Each cuddle session is $5 with up to 2 people in the pen at a time!

  • We will have a couple craft tables set up for kiddos to enjoy. This is included in the event & does not cost extra!

    Coloring, painting, & sand art! 🎨

  • What kind of event would be complete without a bounce house for the kiddos?!

    There is no fee, but kiddos must have an adult present while they are bouncing.

  • We’ll have an awesome section for axe-throwing!

    Participants must be 12 years or older, & must sign or have a legal guardian sign a waiver.

    Cost & more info TBD

  • Be sure to check out our gift basket auction featuring generously donated baskets from local businesses and members of our community. Guests can place bids throughout the event for a chance to win exciting prizes, all while supporting the cats and kittens in our care. It’s a fun way to shop local, score something special, and give back at the same time 🐾🎁

  • Stop by our face painting station for a little extra fun! There’s no set price—just make a donation of any amount to help support the cats and kittens in our care. Every dollar goes directly toward our rescue efforts, so you can leave with a smile while making a difference 🐾🎨

How your support helps our mission:

Calla’s Critter Rescue is a cat rescue local to the Elverson area, dedicated to helping cats of all ages—from fragile neonatal kittens to adult and senior cats. We currently care for over 200 cats, most of whom live in loving foster homes, with two cat café locations where the community can visit and meet adoptable cats.

Support from events like Elverson’s Walk for Whiskers allows us to continue lifesaving work, including rescuing cats in need, providing medical care for sick or injured cats, finding loving forever homes, and participating in trap-neuter-return efforts. By helping us reduce overpopulation, we’re also protecting local wildlife and creating a healthier, more humane community for both animals and people.
