This is a new event for us! The Friends of the Marina Library hosts a monthly "Dads Read" the second Saturday of each month from 10 am – 12 pm. Local guys volunteer to read a couple of stories and there will be a little kid gym, big blocks, Legos, music and other child-friendly activities.  This month will feature donkeys and ONPP will be there with adoptable kittens and puppies.

The annual West End Celebration is a free, family-friendly event in Sand City that celebrates the vibrant arts, outstanding musicians, and culinary culture of Monterey County. This festival transforms the streets into a lively hub of artistic expression, featuring over 170 artists, vendors and crafters, continuous live music on multiple stages, and open studio tours. You can explore a diverse range of art, from paintings and sculptures to multimedia displays, and enjoy gourmet food, craft beer, and wine tasting, and learn about various local nonprofit organizations like ONPP. We'll have adoptable cats and dogs and lots of goodies for sale from noon until 7 pm both days!

We are returning to the Soledad Night Market in August! Come meet our adoptable kittens and dogs from 4 pm til 8 pm at the Grocery Outlet parking lot.

Our foster kittens were a hit during the Kitty Cafes at the Carmel Bach Festival in 2025, where they greeted concert attendees of all ages prior to several concerts at the Sunset Center.  The Kitty Cafe was top request for a return performance in 2026 so we'll be returning to the Virtuoso Lounge at the Sunset Center. Check back for exact dates as the festival gets closer.

We joined the annual Pet Parade in Pacific Grove for the first time in 2025 and had such a good time that we're coming back!  Meet us at Caledonia Park, where the parade will begin at 2 pm, looping around part of Lighthouse Avenue before returning to the park. Animals of all sizes will be participating, and we'll have other adoptable animals for you to meet!
