Preparations for the 2008 Fur Ball, hosted by Fox 13’s Cynthia Smoot, are under way! Details are below and more will be added as they are confirmed. The bottom half of this page contains information from the 2007 ball that is indicative of what you can expect this year.

As in the past, the ball will be primarily a fun party with the brief podium time focused on details of the rescue of “Joseph’s Pride” and of “Hope”, our most recent orphaned Florida bobcat rescue. To see in video the progress of little Hope as we go from having her nurse on a cooperative lactating domestic cat to eventually teaching her to hunt to prepare for her release, visit Hope online at http://www.bigcatrescue.org/video/00194.htm and tune in frequently to follow her progress.

LOCATION: The fabulous A La Carte Event Pavilion at 4050 Dana Shores Dr. Tampa, FL 33634 off Memorial Highway by Rocky Point Golf Course. For detailed directions and information click here
ATTIRE: We call the unique fur Ball attire “Safari Costume Formal”.
