Our "Purr-Fect" Auction raised $3500!

This was auction 2 of 2 - we divided our items into two sub-categories - "Stuff" and "Experiences" which allowed us to track which did better, and monitor to make changes for next year. It worked because the experience was seamless for bidders using Zeffy and we were able to share the link(s) across multiple platforms and flyers. The most money was actually raised by people supporting the cause through a "Spay A Stray" and we didn't have to do anything but thank them afterwards!

Other non-profits could repeat this option of dividing items into categories to help bidders and supporters focus in on what they want. Some people just don't need more things, but are happy to support the cause
