Just Us Cat & Kitten Rescue, a local 501c3 nonprofit, will host its annual fundraiser with two dinner seatings, from 4 to 6 p.m. and 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 24, at 1776 Steakhouse in the Midway Shopping Center along Route 1 north of Rehoboth Beach.
The restaurant will donate 25% of its proceeds to Just Us. Each seating will feature a 50/50 raffle and silent auction items, plus some fun door prizes. Admission tickets for each seating cost $10, which includes $5 for the 50/50 pot. This is a cash/checks event.
The cost for dinner is in addition to the event ticket, and advance reservations are required. Select items including rounds of golf at Baywood Greens, one week of boarding at Farmhouse Pet Lodge, and a $500 Amazon gift card will be raffled off via tickets sold both before and at the event. Winning tickets will be pulled at 8:45 p.m., and ticket holders need not be present to win. Admission and raffle tickets are available at JustUsCats.Eventbrite.com.

To date, Just Us has spayed/neutered 707 cats and kittens at no or low cost. The adoption of more than 400 cats and kittens has been facilitated, and more than 400 pets have received services at its low-cost vaccine clinics.
