Win This Pagoda Tree!
This delightful piece of hand-crafted feline furniture could be yours! For the modest price of $5.00, you may purchase a raffle ticket and a chance to win this fabulous cat palace.* At the same time, you will be supporting the animals of the Maine State Society for the Protection of Animals. Thanks to the generous donation made by Bryan Kaufman, designer of the Pagoda Tree and owner of r6meows, every penny raised through the raffle of our Pagoda Tree will go directly to the feeding and care of Maine animals, once neglected or abused. Other examples of Bryan’s feline furniture creations can be seen at the Society. They are used in the Society’s Cat Adoption Room and throughout the house wherever cats congregate. The trees last practically forever, can be washed as needed, and will quickly become one your cat’s favorite places to lounge.
With a retail value of nearly $400.00, this prize could be the best return on a $5.00 investment since the stock market went south! The prize tree is 5’ tall; with a base that measures 24” by 24”. The Pagoda cabin is 14” by 10” and will accommodate even a 20lb cat. The approximate weight of the prize is 75lbs. The Pagoda Tree is constructed of cabinet grade plywood, cedar posts, un-oiled natural sisal, wooden drum shells, and plush carpeting.

The Maine State Society for the Protection of Animals is unlike any other animal welfare facility in New England. Originally formed in 1872 to protect the horses who pulled Portland’s streetcars, the Society now provides around the clock on-site staffing, has access to veterinary services twenty-four hours a day, and maintains nearly one hundred equines on its farm facilities. Animals who have been seized by Maine’s law enforcement officials and placed with the Society are rehabilitated and placed in forever homes or kept for the entirety of their lives.
The MSSPA is a tax-exempt, 501(c) (3) and receives no federal, state or local funding. The organization is funded by a combination of membership dues, bequests, donations, grants, and fund-raising activities. The Society does not charge for its services and seeks no reimbursement from any public source.
