Tickets are on sale now for the Ventura County Humane Society’s 7th annual fundraiser “Cats in the Canyon & Hounds in the Hollow” scheduled from 2-5 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 21 at Boccali’s restaurant, Ojai.

Prices are $45 adults, $30 children which includes a full Italian dinner and a live band. Also featured is a “Buy It Now” marketplace with bargains on items and services from businesses throughout Ventura County. Several adoptable animals from the Humane Society shelter will be at the event.

Funds raised through this event go towards the care and protection of the animals of the shelter, including a new effort to modernize the dog kennels. It costs approximately $960,000 yearly just to keep the shelter open. The Humane Society of Ventura County receives no direct financial assistance from city, county and state agencies, the ASPCA or the Humane Society of the United States. Fundraising events, grants and donations are the HSVC’s only sources of income.

The benefit is outdoors on the lawn at Boccali’s Restaurant at 3277 E. Ojai Ave. For tickets call 805-646-6505. Limited tickets available at the door for $50 adults and $35 children.
