This is a photo of Cate saying please come and buy all our stuff so we can give the money to the animals. Our last day at the Ulladulla Marine Rescue Wharf Markets and the weather is perfect. Sun is out and the smell of coffee and donuts is wofting through the air. It’s going to be a huge day and there’s even a helicopter coming for the Marine Rescue Anniversary Celebrations. So get on down and don’t miss out. We will be here until 1pm.

This weekend we are having a sale….its the GOOD BUY SALE. This will be our last ULLADULLA MARINE RESCUE WHARF MARKETS stall and we need to get rid of as much of our stock as possible. 100% goes to the animals so please come down and grab a bargain and support our community at the same time.

FAREWELL from FatCat

Hey everyone, it’s Cate from FatCat.

First off I’d just like to say thank you. Thank you to everyone in this community that has shown their unconditional support and enthusiasm for FatCat since 2016. When this non- profit charity was started, I couldn’t have imagined how far it would come or the limitless experience it would teach me. It’s taken years of hard work while partnered with the insanely generous Ulladulla Vet to help the elderly and needy pay for their vet bills. It couldn’t have been done without the ongoing support from Marine Rescue and countless other businesses and people in the community. Special thanks to Tanya from Uptown Patisserie for making dog treats, Hellen for making our knitted winter stock, Kim from Slow for making the T-shirt bags and running the bushfire bracelet fundraiser with us, Joe for supplying us with stickers, Sheila from Vinnies who supplied the T-shirts for the bags, Tracy who has been in support of FatCat since the beginning, Dave and Sarah who have donated endlessly to FatCat, Linda who makes the wonderful dog coats and shopping bags, Raine and Apples from Triple U fm who helped promote FatCat via radio, Goddess Day Spa, Nikki of Nikki B’s, Rebecca from Figtree Forest, Grey Dolphins, and Civic Video, Ulladulla Printing and Signage who supplied FatCat with all the Advertisement for the Conjola Concert, Steve Kilbey and Jacob and The Condiments, Milton Theatre Committee, Belinda from Kahama Park, Rotary and Cindy and Caz from Floorworld. (I’m sure I’ve missed someone. If you are said someone then I apologise).

I can’t put into words my gratitude, so it saddens me to say that I won’t be able to continue doing the markets or FatCat as I’ll be in Sydney at Uni as of next year. Juggling the responsibility of jobs, study and charity just aren’t in the cards for me unfortunately. I still aim to volunteer at shelters or something similar but as I haven’t found anyone to take over FatCat, I need to address the fact that the Ulladulla Wharf October Market (Sunday the 13th) will be the last FatCat stall. I need to completely clear out every tiny bit of stock so none of it goes to waste so everything will be cheap as chips and of course, going to the FatCat cause.

100% of the money raised has always gone to helping elderly and needy people pay for their vet bills, so please come on down and support FatCat and the community one last time! We will keep you all posted and cannot wait to see you this weekend. I’m seriously going to miss your beautiful smiles and generosity.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you again and again for everything.

Lots of love,
Cate from FatCat

If it’s not sunny where you are….come to Ulladulla Marine Rescue Wharf markets right now. We have sunshine and lots of awesome new goodies on our table. This week Ms Linda has donated some really beautiful hanging tea towels and tote bags. We’ve also got some dog jackets left but not many. We’d like to say a special thanks to Ms Linda this week. Her amazing skills and compassion are what keeps FatCat alive. So get on down as quick as you can or you’ll miss everything. Seeyousoon.

Cate got a special invitation to speak about FatCat at Rotary last week. It was pretty cool. And they gave Cate a certificate. Thanks Rotary, it’s awesome. And thanks to all the other legends that have made FatCat possible over the years.

This weekend we had a surprise visit from two of our favourite FatCat people. Dave and his partner Sarah live on the central coast and first heard about FatCat during our Bushfire Bracelets campaign in 2020. Dave has family in the area and bought a bunch of bracelets and has then continued to send us a monthly donation for FatCat ever since. 4 years and we’ve never met Sarah and Dave face to face and then they randomly show up at the markets! What absolutely amazing and caring people. Great to finally meet you guys and thankyou for your ongoing support and generosity.
