The Forever Gala
Until there is a forever home for every animal.
A magical night out in support of Kingston Animal Rescue.
Join us for an unforgettable waterfront evening in support of Kingston Animal Rescue — and help give animals the time they need to heal, trust again, and find forever.
Enjoy plant-based fine dining, live music, red carpet moments, and exciting auctions alongside Kingston’s most compassionate community.
The Gift of Time
Since 2010, we’ve rescued more than 1,200 animals—each with a unique journey and a timeline all their own.
We take the forgotten ones.
The abandoned ones.
Those cast aside, left behind—
the ones thought to be too complicated, too difficult,
not worth the time it would take.
At Kingston Animal Rescue, time is the most important gift.
In our care, the clock stops.
For animals like…
Sweet Poppy, who gave birth to eight kittens only weeks after being rescued from life as a stray—finally safe, with the time and space to care for her family;
Sugar and Cookie, two bunnies abandoned outside and left to fend for themselves, found seeking shelter beneath a car—still waiting, two years later, for a place to call home;
And Lucia, a happy lab-cross saved from euthanasia due to a severe heart condition—now living her days, however many she has, surrounded by love.
Time to rest.
Time to heal.
Time to feel safe.
Time without limits.
And you make it all possible.
Every rescue.
Every surgery.
Every second chance.
Your support gives animals peace, relief, and time—
and with time, anything is possible.
Until there is a forever home for every animal.
