Well it only happens once a year and when it does…The SPCA of Central Florida knows how to throw a fabulous party!

On March 18th, O’Furball - SPCA’s auction spectacular, flooded the grounds at SeaWorld Orlando Ports of Call raising more than $105,000. Individuals came early to set their sites and their bids on the more than three hundred items, all graciously donated by charitable businesses, board members and volunteers in, around, and about the Orlando area. The silent auction had something for everyone on your list: a new bed for Fluffy or Rover, a trip to the zoo for you and the little ones, dinner for eight at Darden’s Culinary Center, and even a wedding band, just in case you felt inspired to get hitched before the night was through!

After perusing all of the fabulous auction items, O’Furball guests were whisked away to the “Pets Ahoy” show. Joel Slaven, the Head Animal Trainer at “Pets Ahoy” continues year after year to pull out all of the stops and present an amazing animal show. It is a joy to see first hand the overwhelming results of an SPCA shelter dog or cat, given time, love and training then turn out to be a local Orlando star. “Pets Ahoy” is a sight that leaves everyone smiling a little brighter and eyes a little misty after their final performance. O’Furball wouldn’t be nearly so furry without “Pets Ahoy,” the SPCA of Central Florida is so fortunate to have Joel and his gang promoting “responsible human behavior towards animals.”

Back at Ports of Call and amidst the frenzied bidding and shopping, O’Furball guests enjoyed the toe tapping music of “Shenanigans” throughout the evening. Everyone nibbled and noshed to their heart’s desire on the fabulous hors d’oeuvres whipped up by SeaWorld’s Catering Department. As all good things must come to an end, O’Furball guests enjoyed dessert and the talented dancers from The Watters School of Irish Dancing.

As the music drifts off in the distance we would like to take this time to share our thanks to our wonderful sponsors!"
