Are the Mysteries just a little *too* mysterious for you? Are you the sort of person whose eyes glaze over when someone explains complicated card game rules to you? Have you ever looked at a tarot spread and wondered just what those symbols and colors mean and how they translate into ideas?

Then we have the perfect workshop for you!

If you have any questions or would like to register, just drop us a line or swing by The Archives of the Strange and Unusual at 39 Phillips Street in downtown Franklin. Workshop fee is $20.

If you can donate to Catman Shelter, there are a list of businesses in the comments of the original post where you can drop off donations. We threw our name in the ring as a drop off location as well. The shelter has a wishlist in the comments. You can also send them money directly, which imo, is always easiest for the shelter. That way they can get exactly what is needed.

Hi, friends! We are looking for local businesses in the Sylva area to serve as collection locations for cat food and supply donations. This kitten season is ✨ brutal ✨ and we have so many mouths to feed here at the shelter. We are also helping so many folks in our community feed their kitties in these hard times, so our pet food pantry needs some serious restocking with both wet and dry cat food of any kind. If you have a business and would be willing to collect for us, we would be happy to pick up!
Please reach out to me via email ([email protected]) if you can help.

For anyone else who wants to help, we have updated our supply wish lists to mostly food and non-clumping litter. Our shipping address is 635 Bo Cove Rd Cullowhee, NC 28723 You can find them here:
