Exciting Events!
Where Compassion Comes to Life.
At PAACT, our events are more than just gatherings - they are moments of connection, community, and compassion. Whether we are going to be at a market, assembling Frosty Paws shelters to protect stray cats in winter, distributing supplies through our Care Closet, or hosting heartfelt fundraisers for animals in need, every event is a chance to create real, meaningful change.
Proceeds from any and all events go directly to support local animals in need!
