POAs 13th Annual Kitten Shower
2026-05-22 16:00 - 20:00 UTC | Hops on the Hill, 25 Dug Rd, Glastonbury, CT
This is a family friendly venue and we are being given the use of the large tent like prior years. In addition to beer, Hops sells wine, hard cider and soda and we will also be providing light refreshments. We will have kitten ambassadors, raffle baskets, a face painter, and color-your-own stuffed animals so kids can bring home their own puppy or kitten!

East Hartford Memorial Day Parade
2026-05-25 10:00 - 12:00 | CT
POA will once again be part of East Hartford’s Memorial Day parade! It will begin promptly at 10am, proceeding from 9 Riverside Drive to the Fallen Star Memorial (a very short walk!) and celebration of East Hartford with food trucks, music and activities. POA attends the parade annually with the snip van (last year’s inflatable cat costumes were also a hit with the crowds!). It would be great to have a large turnout representing POA this year with some adoptable dogs in attendance as well.
