The Homeless Animal Rescue Team (HART) of Maine, an adoption center and shelter for cats in Cumberland, is pleased to announce their second annual silent and live auction fundraising event, Bids & Brews, December 5, 2024, at Maine Beer Company in Freeport, Maine. Admission is free.

Like last year’s hugely successful inaugural event at Maine Beer Company, it will feature a silent and live auction, free pizza, and all the excitement of outbidding others for a good time and a great cause. The event will run from 5:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Admission is free (but HART will gladly accept donations at the door). 

Silent auction selections will include an eclectic and curated mix of gift cards, jewelry, professional services, gift baskets, artwork, and more, all generously donated by individuals and local establishments. The live auction will feature signature trips and VIP experiences.

All proceeds from this event will help alleviate some of the increased financial burden HART has taken on this year due to the rising price of veterinary care, food, and medical supplies. This fundraiser will help HART continue the excellent work of helping abandoned cats survive, thrive, and be ready for adoption into their next forever home.
