Morris Animal Refuge is pleased to announce that Friday, March 24th will be the 26th Annual Fur Ball! Join us at the Franklin Institute for a lifesaving celebration of the hearts and minds of animal welfare.

Enjoy an evening of learning, dancing, drinking, and animal cuddles in one of Philadelphia’s most beloved museums. Cuddle a kitten at the giant Heart Exhibit, enjoy food and an open bar all evening long, peruse our silent auction, test your knowledge in the museum’s Brain Exhibit, and dance the night away to tunes brought to you by DJ Perry Angelozzi under the gaze of Benjamin Franklin in the memorial hall. Enjoy all of this and more while raising the funds that allow Morris to continue to save the lives of Philadelphia animals in need as we have done for nearly 150 years.

There will be a VIP cocktail reception to kick off the night from 6pm – 7pm, which will include an extra hour of the open bar, gourmet hors d’oeuvres, and bonus time with all the puppies and kittens before the rest of the crowd arrives! The main event will run from 7pm until 11pm.

The Fur Ball is our largest annual fundraiser to support our mission of helping the homeless, abandoned, and unwanted pets in the Philadelphia area, and we rely on you to ensure we can carry our lifesaving mission all year long!
