Holiday for the Heart Celebration and Tree Raffle Dec 6

DELHI — Happy Holidays to you and yours from all the staff and furries at Heart of the Catskills Humane Society! We are excited to share information about our annual Holiday for the Heart Celebration and Tree Raffle, being held December 6th, 2025 from 11am-3pm in the Norris Gallery at the Delaware County Historical Association, located at 46549 State Highway 10, Delhi (right down the driveway from HCHS).

This year we will have over 30 beautiful pre-lit and decorated trees, both large and small, and we will also have other fun things to raffle off, such as decorated sleds, skates, and beautiful handmade wooden trees. The items will be on display from Monday, December 1st through Friday, December 5th from 11-4. You are welcome to preview the trees and purchase your raffle tickets ahead of time. They will be on sale in the Norris Gallery, one ticket for $5 and 6 tickets for $25. Winners will be announced December 6th at 3pm.

We hope to see you at this warm community event! Please come and celebrate the holiday season and our furry friends by supporting the shelter, perusing our beautiful trees, listening to live music, eating some warm soup, and perhaps doing a little holiday shopping at our Beastie Boutique, jewelry table, and bake sale. This year some of the creative themes chosen by local families, clubs, and individuals run the gamut from Mrs. Claus’s Bakery, Polar Express, and The Velveteen Rabbit to The Money Tree, Diversity is Divine, and Twilight Fairies.

Join us December 6th between 11am and 3pm! All proceeds go to support HCHS and our homeless animals waiting for their furr-ever homes. Donated goods or supplies can be dropped off at our location on Rte. 10 in Delhi during business hours- Tuesday through Saturday from noon-4.
