Almost Home Cat Rescue MKE Calendar of Events
This page is designed to track events that Almost Home is involved in (whether as a vendor at community events, hosting events within the community or hosting events at our rescue location), or organizing behind-the-scenes meetings. The goal is to avoid scheduling multiple events/meetings at the rescue or within the community at the same time.
When scheduling events, whether they are in-house (behind the scenes) or public-facing (in the community), please be mindful that having multiple events on the same day or overlapping in timing can make it challenging to ensure adequate coverage for both events, as well as open houses and cleaning shifts—particularly on weekends and during the summer months.
This calendar is for internal use only—please do not share it with individuals outside of the Almost Home Cat Rescue MKE community.
