Expect
cute overload when the Cincinnati BombShells, full of kittenish charm
themselves, yarn bomb the Ohio Alleycat Resource & Spay/Neuter Clinic open
house. Two of CityBeat’s 2012 Best of
Cincinnati picks will generate some “knit one, purrrr too” action with
Operation Kitten Knittin’. The fiber artists have made blankets to welcome fur
babies being showcased for adoption, and they’ll help visitors stuff knitted
mice with catnip to give to the shelter cats or take home to their pets. The
gals, who don platinum wigs and big sunglasses, also promise an accessory for
OAR’s big blue cat mascot. In addition to running the adoption center, the
nonprofit Ohio Alleycat Resource promotes trap-neuter-return of feral cats and
operates a low-cost spay/neuter clinic for ferals, strays and pets. Check its
wish list at ohioalleycat.org and
bring along donations for the kitties and the people who care for them. Free.
1-4 p.m. 5619 Orlando Place, Madisonville. 513-871-7297.
