Fur Ball
2025-03-08 17:00 - 23:00 | Hampton Roads Convention Center, 1610 Coliseum Drive, Hampton , VA, 23666, United States
The Peninsula SPCA’s 17th annual Fur Ball gala raised over $390,000 for the pets and programs of the Peninsula SPCA! Held on March 8th, 2025 at the Hampton Roads Convention Center, this year’s event, Nashville Nights, had over 400 guests with nearly 30 pets joining the celebration.
Guests enjoyed browsing silent auction items during cocktail hour and getting their portraits taken by Bob Harper Photography. Four-legged guests were treated to tasty treats at the Muttini Bar, made possible by Carol & Frank, Pearson Toyota, Towne Bank, Old Point, VCA Animal Hospital, and Care-a-Lot, before strutting their stuff in the pet parade. The live auction was also a highlight of the night with our first feline, Samson, winning 2026 Fur Ball Spokespet! The Peninsula SPCA is also very grateful for the generosity of Cathy McQuade who donated $200,000 towards our Cozy Kennel Fund! This will be another Fur Ball to remember, and the local band, Snackbar Jones, had guests dancing the night away in celebration.
The 17th annual Fur Ball was made possible by community partners who support the important work of the Peninsula SPCA. A special thanks to our Pawsome Partners: Collins Machine Works and Cathy McQuade.

Give Local 757
2025-05-06
Every pet deserves a safe, comfortable place to rest while they wait for their forever home. However, during the coldest part of winter, our heating and air conditioning system failed, and we had to run temporary, portable heaters that are very costly. Looking ahead to the hot summer months, we have an urgent need for a complete replacement of our HVAC system as soon as possible. We need to raise $310,000 by mid-May to be able to restore heat and AC to our cat and dog kennels.
This is an emergency situation, and we need your help!
A friend to the animals and the Peninsula SPCA, Shelley Fink-Brackett, has pledged a donation match of $10,000 during Give Local 757, which means all donations up to $10,000 raised during Give Local will be MATCHED dollar-for-dollar, doubling the impact you can make!
If we hit our goal of $15,000 for Give Local, we will have raised all of the remaining funds to cover the cost of replacing our HVAC system!
Did you know that the Peninsula SPCA relies solely on community donations to operate?
We are a private, nonprofit, “adoption-guarantee” or no-kill animal shelter that is not affiliated with the ASPCA or other national organizations. Thanks to the support of animal lovers like you, we have become a safety net for the Peninsula’s most vulnerable pets, taking in pets whose owners could no longer care for them and reducing euthanasia in over-crowded shelters through our transfer program. Over the last 5 years, 4,894 pets got the second chance they deserved through these services alone. In this past year, the Peninsula SPCA has saved over 1,100 lives, performed over 1,300 spay/neuter surgeries, and vaccinated more than 750 pets. In addition, PSPCA continues to expand our humane education offerings, reaching over 6,500 students and families in 2024. The Peninsula SPCA devotes its time and resources to finding forever homes for the animals in our care and to and to advocate for the humane treatment of all animals in our community. This organization receives no public funding and relies on the community for support to keep the benefit of an adoption-guarantee shelter alive for the Virginia Peninsula community’s citizens and pets.
By supporting the Peninsula SPCA you are truly Giving Local!
