WOW, pretty much sums it up when it comes to HOCA's Cat'n Around Catskill 2025 Cat's Meow Auction. A record number of Cats, record attendance and record sales made for a day to remember. Many, many thanks go out to all our sponsors, the Village of Catskill DPW, our volunteers and of course of all those who came out to participate in the auction. There are two ladies that deserve an extra special thank you. Tina Annesse who coordinates to Cat'n Around program spending endless hours making this happen. And, Angela Lanuto from The Angela Lanuto Team at Coldwell Banker Village Green Realty who volunteers a day away from her highly successful real estate operation to take on the role of auctioneer, a job she not only thoroughly enjoys but also does a wonderful job doing it. Here are a few random shots from around the auction. Watch for future posts as we announce all the People's Choice winners in the coming days
