Special Events

Friends of Roman Cats (FORC) holds an annual silent auction party to celebrate “The Blessings Animals Give Us”. It is based on a centuries old Italian festival, “The Blessing of The Animals” which takes place on the feast day of St.Anthony Abbot, the patron saint of domestic animals. We get together to celebrate our animal friends and to raise donations to help our spay/neuter and feral assistance programs in the Bay Area and Italy.

SAVE THE DATE! Please join us at our yearly Blessings Party and silent auction on Saturday March 3rd from 6:00pm to 8:30pm, returning again at the beautiful Museo Italo-Americano in Fort Mason Center Bldg C, San Francisco.

*If you have any items to donate to the auction, please let us know!*

The auction raises funds to help the struggling cat rescue groups in Italy and for our St Francis fund, which assists Bay Area ferals in need of emergency care or surgery. Hand crafted ceramics, jewelry and local art are featured at our auction, as well as great essential oil and bath products, gift baskets, wine, and many gift certificates to delicious local restaurants, services, sports, and more. We will post an announcement soon with full RSVP details.
