The Love Cats Silent Art Auction is scheduled to return this weekend in Ogden. Known as the Wildcard Edition, the event will be held at the Local Artisan Collective to benefit individual artists and Whiskers Utah.
The upcoming auction will take place Friday from 5-7 p.m. and Saturday from noon-7 p.m. according to a October 27 report. Unlike the first auction held in March, which focused exclusively on cat-themed art, this edition allows artists to contribute their best work regardless of a specific theme. Organizer Jennifer VanDyke stated that 15 artists have contributed works for this weekend's event.
VanDyke expressed a goal to surpass the approximately $2,500 raised during the March auction. The funds are intended to support Whiskers Utah, which is currently managing a high volume of kittens. VanDyke noted that the organization recently took in 15 cats for spaying and neutering and requires financial support to continue its work.
The organizer noted that the logistics for this second auction are expected to be easier than the first. VanDyke said the event is a response to community needs for both the local artistic community and charities helping animals. She stated that the community has shown a willingness to use their talents to help cats.
The event is scheduled for Oct. 30-31, 2026.
