Cool Cars for Cats: Car Show and Cat Food Drive
October 5, 2024 10am-2pm |
The Pet Project is teaming up with WesleyLife’s Meals on Wheels and Iowa Charity Cruisers for Cool Cars for Cats! This annual car show and cat food drive supports feline needs in our programs. Awards will be given for cars entered into the show and attendees will have an opportunity to learn about our work. Admission is one unopened bag of adult cat food (preferably 3lb) or a free-will donation. Small bags of food help us better distribute the appropriate amount of food and are easier for patrons/volunteers to manage.
In 2023 we had over 75 cars, received 500 pounds of food and $3,000 in donations – help us set a new record in 2024!

Partnering since 2014, The Pet Project has teamed up with Griff, Drake University’s live mascot for Griff Gives Back.
