Shout out to Chef Ryan and Candlestick Bakery for helping make our annual Murder Mystery at the Columbia Theatre such an unforgettable experience! They not only deliver a delicious meal and incredible desserts each year, but Chef Ryan has also been known to jump into the action as one of the actors in our annual Murder Mystery adventures! They also provide the delicious hot chocolate for our Holiday Extravaganza! From the amazing food to the fun performances, they help make the night a complete success for all of our guests.

Our annual Murder Mystery Dinner, GOTHAM NIGHTS, is coming up in September!
The newly reformed Oswald Cobblepot is throwing a gala fundraiser for the less fortunate souls at Arkham Asylum. You are invited to join Bruce Wayne, Selina Kyle, and Commissioner Gordon for a three-course meal courtesy of One Thirteen Executive Chef Ryan Haigler and Candlestick Bakery, along with drinks from Todd DeLaune’s Red, White and Brew. But beware! Whenever Gotham City’s finest are all gathered in one place, some of the world’s most fearsome villains are often lurking in the shadows. If things get rough, you may be called upon to lend the Caped Crusader a hand. Batman fans, don't miss out! Tickets on sale July 7.

Please donate if you can to our friends at Fort Feline!!

UPDATE !!! We have an anonymous donor willing to match donations up to $1000 that will double your donation !!! PLEASE PLEASE donate this would be a huge blessing !!

This fundraiser is to help us build a nice outdoor sanctuary that would connect to our kitty shed that we plan on adding AC to. With the recent attacks on our outdoor colony at our vice president‘s house and the loss of one of our babies, we see this as our only option for now since there has been no resolution through our parish officials. Please consider donating to help keep our babies safe in the yard that they have been in for some of them up to the last seven years. This has been their home. There safe place !! Any amount that you can donate would be of a huge help. We are so thankful for all of the people following our story with this situation who are praying for us and supporting us !!!  Please continue sharing our post to continue bringing awareness to this unresolved nightmare!!!

Pictured is Trop who lost his life to this aggressive dog! We miss him dearly!!
