If your closet is home to a handbag that deserves a night out, or if you are simply on the hunt for your next favorite accessory, a wonderful community tradition is returning to bring style and support to the animals who need it most.
The dedicated volunteers at Habitat for Cats MA are bringing back their beloved Purses for Paws event, offering a treasure trove of gently used handbags, wallets, vintage jewelry, scarves, and gloves. Whether you are hoping to score a timeless find from designer names like Brahmin, Dooney & Bourke, Coach, and Michael Kors, or just want to browse unique vintage pieces, there is something special waiting for everyone—with prices starting at just $1.
An Event Built on Compassion and Community
What makes this event truly shine isn’t just the incredible inventory (though organizers note that the selection is so vast it rivals top online marketplaces)—it is the heart behind it. Every scarf, wallet, and purse purchased directly supports homeless and stray cats throughout the Greater New Bedford area.
As a tireless all-volunteer nonprofit group, Habitat for Cats MA specializes in vital Trap/Neuter/Return (TNR) programs and community rescue efforts. Events like Purses for Paws provide the essential funding needed to care for vulnerable felines, giving them safety, medical care, and a second chance at comfort.
