My organization is trying to get a Kitten yoga event up and running. I don't think it has been done often, so finding useful reference materials has been difficult. Any help you can offer would be appreciated.

Subject: Successful fundraising idea: Kitten Yoga
I've seen several people asking about fundraising ideas and decided to share a new idea we tried. Kitten yoga! A local winery donated the space--which was on their beautiful grounds. Our volunteers brought in some of their outgoing foster kittens and stayed to supervise. The day also featured a raffle and the winery held their tastings as usual. Our only cost was $200 for instructors from a yoga studio and some signage. Sign ups and payment for the classes were posted ahead of time and sold through Tock--a reservation system. Altogether this brought in more than $4000. We plan to do it again.
