On Saturday, June 12, Lewis hosted an event that benefited Tabby’s Place, a sanctuary for cats located in Ringoes, New Jersey. The event was entitled “Zoom
Cat Zoom!” and was a poetry and art walk that took place in Lambertville, New Jersey and New Hope, Pennsylvania
from 3:00 to 6:00 pm. Participants were given a playbill with poetry from Matheney’s
book “Zoom Cat Zoom!” and a map that led them through a short walking tour of Lambertville and New Hope.
They matched poetry in the playbill with pieces of art they found at ten merchants and stores in both towns. In addition to art at each location, participants found postcards that showed a Tabby’s Place cat in need of adoption. The postcards were designed to be mailed so that participants who could not adopt
a cat were able spread the word about the cats to friends and family for the cost of just a few postage stamps. June is National Adopt-A-Shelter-Cat Month and Lewis hopes to raise awareness of cats in need of
adoption at the sanctuary as well as highlighting the enormous number of services that they offer. The facility is cage-free
and operates an adoption center, as well as a hospital and a hospice facility. The facility treats
and cares for cats that come from around the world for the specialized care they might be given for everything from cancer
and diabetes to heart disease and blindness. The “Zoom Cat Zoom!” walk began
at Left Bank Books, 32 Coryell Street, Lambertville, where participants found a drop-off bin for various items that Tabby’s Place needs to have donated. The donation bin was flowing over by the end of the event. Click here to see a list of items they still need. The
walk also highlighted points of interest in both towns and concluded at New Hope Arts Center, where all participants in the walk received goody bags and enjoyed complimentary food and beverages. We
asked for no rain - we got sweltering heat and humidity. I'm so appreciative of everyone who came out to support this
great cause in spite of the tough weather. __________________________________________________ Here is a list of the merchants who generously donated space for art and postcards: Left Bank Books, Lambertville, NJ Click here Thanks to Christina and New Hope Arts Center _______________________________________________
