Surrey Cat Walk: Strut Your Stuff!

Come to the Surrey Cat Walk and help cats and kittens in need!

The Surrey Community Cat Coalition is hosting its 2nd annual fundraising walk on Saturday, June 22 at Surrey Bend Regional Park. The walk is 5 km, with a 2 km option for those who would like to do a shorter walk.

Registration begins at 11 am, with the walk starting at 12 pm and lunch afterwards. There will also be other goodies, prizes, and vendors!

Our goal for the Surrey Cat Walk is to raise $10,000, which will go towards spaying and neutering cats in need.

1. REGISTER on this page. Your registration fee will include a light lunch and a swag bag with goodies and a prize draw ticket. The fee is $20 if you register before or on June 1. If you register after June 1, the fee is $25.
