Participating in our Giving Tuesday Fundraiser will allow us to continue creating a safe space to take care of cats. It will give us the ability to purchase the necessary equipment to build out our surgical suite. Having this space built out at our own facility gives us the ability to take in injured animals that we would otherwise have turned away due to limited surgical spots available at our vet office.
10am
Opening Ceremonies
Let's kick off the 24 hour lock-in! Join us for our "Opening Ceremonies" while Chris and Shelly give you a rundown of what to expect over the next 24 hours. You will take a tour of our building where you will get to see all the ins and outs and even the off-limits staff only area along with our surgical suite so if you’re into spying on us, this hour is for you.
11am
Nates and Whales
A little behind the scenes for medical and cat intake protocols. Each week we weigh every cat in our lounge and trim their nails. Follow along as Cat and Amanda try not to take a claw to the eyeball on camera and explain why this is important. They will also share what happens on Tuesday's and Wednesday's when we are closed to the public.
Christine will also descend from her throne and share how our lounge flow works week to week and what happens on Tuesday and Wednesday for her as it relates to adoptions.
12pm
Confessional Hour
It's Confessional time, MTV Real World/The Bachelor/Big Brother style. Sit down with each staff member as they spill their secrets or just how they came to work at the Cade and how they really feel about this lock-in. Will someone cry? Throw something. Let’s find out.
1pm
Lunchtime
Watch as we smash food into our faces and talk about our most memorable cats that have had an impact on us throughout the years.

Cat Churu Art
Wait, what?! They cats will paint pictures for you, motivated by using Churu meat tubes and laser pointers. But, how? Well, you'll have to watch to find out. Trust me, it’s a lot cooler and cuter than you expect.
These art pieces will be pre-sold during the 7pm Mollie Live art drawing hour.
11pm
Evening Confessional
It's almost time for bed, and we're checking in for the night. Listen to each of us chat and totally not complain about what we would be doing if we were not locked in and what are we sacrificing in order to be here helping raise money for the cats.

Lights OUT!
Time to sleep. Maybe see the ghost of Mollie. Will Chris sleep on camera while cats eat his face? Who knows. Let’s get weird.
