Little Mittens Online Auction runs until November 28

Little Mittens Animal Rescue Association is inviting animal lovers and bargain hunters from across the Kootenays and beyond to participate in its 2026 Online Silent Auction, now underway until Saturday, November 28.

The fundraiser supports the rescue, rehabilitation, and care of domestic animals and wildlife throughout the region.

Thanks to the generosity of businesses and individuals from communities across the Kootenays, the auction features a growing selection of items and experiences, including restaurant gift certificates, outdoor adventures, golf packages, pet services, wellness treatments, and much more. With something for nearly everyone, the auction offers a great opportunity to get a head start on holiday shopping while supporting an important cause.

And you don’t have to live in Golden to participate! The online format allows supporters from anywhere to browse items and place bids through the Zeffy fundraising platform.

While Little Mittens is based in Golden, its work extends throughout the Kootenay and Columbia regions, and the organization welcomes participation from all the communities it serves and beyond. Successful bidders can coordinate pickup or other arrangements according to the requirements of individual auction items.

Based in Golden, Little Mittens has been rescuing and caring for animals since 2009. In addition to its domestic animal shelter, the organization operates the only licensed wildlife rehabilitation facility serving the Kootenay and Columbia regions.

Each year, Little Mittens provides care to hundreds of injured, orphaned, and displaced wild animals, alongside its ongoing work with abandoned, surrendered, and stray domestic animals.

Funds raised through the auction will help cover the costs of veterinary treatment, food, medications, rehabilitation supplies, and other essential expenses associated with animal rescue and care.

“Community support is what makes our work possible,” said Alannah Knapp, Executive Director of Little Mittens Animal Rescue Association.

“Every bid helps us provide care to animals that need it most. We’re incredibly grateful to the businesses and individuals from across the region who have donated to the auction and to everyone who participates.”

Little Mittens is also continuing to accept donations of auction items throughout the event. Businesses and individuals interested in contributing gift certificates, products, services, or experiences are encouraged to contact the organization at [email protected].

Donations of all sizes are welcome, and each contribution helps make the fundraiser a success.

With bidding already underway, now is the perfect time to explore the auction and find something worth bidding on! Whether you’re looking for a unique holiday gift, a memorable experience, or a little something for yourself, every winning bid helps support animals in need. New items are still being added, so be sure to check back often, share the auction with friends and family, and get your bids in before the auction closes on Saturday, November 28.

Little Mittens extends its sincere appreciation to the businesses, individuals, and volunteers throughout the Kootenays and beyond who have contributed to this year’s auction. Their generosity and the support of bidders help ensure that animals in need continue to receive the care they deserve.
