Why This Event Matters
Set against the beautiful backdrop of The Pines in Sausalito, a historic home devoted to the care and protection of cats, this gathering reflects the heart of Sage Compassion for Animals’ work.
We provide life-saving veterinary care for cats and dogs in urgent need, while also working to prevent illness through education and access to resources.
This event brings our community together to explore how we can keep pets with the people who love them, strengthen families through support, and create a future where animals live healthier lives.
Join us to learn, connect, and be part of that impact.
