KELLOGG – The Silver Valley Cat Wranglers have a little bit of breathing room thanks to a recent fundraiser that went above and beyond for the local feline rescue group.  According to Juli Zook, the group’s recent silent auction netted them $8,500, almost half of what the Wranglers spent last year on spays and neuters.  Hosted at the Dirty Dog... err, Dirty Kitty Saloon, owners Mike and Linda Kennaugh have made a habit of hosting fundraisers and donating the night’s sales revenue to the cause.
