More than 500 guests attended the 21st Annual Catwalk: Paws and Couture, a fashion show and luncheon celebrating Ocean Reef’s working cats and the community’s support of animal welfare through ORCAT.
The event featured runway looks from Neiman Marcus alongside appearances by beloved pets and rescue dogs, while recognizing the donors and partners who helped bring the Grayvik Animal Center from concept to completion.
ORCAT Board Chair Luisa Bryan and Grayvik Veterinary Medical Director Dr. Lora Cummings presented Grayvik Construction Committee Chair Ray Herman with the Penny W. Stamps Award for his exceptional dedication to the project and the organization’s mission. Bryan was also surprised with a tribute marking her final Catwalk as Board Chair after 10 years of service, with a special presentation by ORCA Board Chair Harry Totonis.
Led by committee chair Susie Misini-Hassett and emcee Paul Bishop, the afternoon included raffles and unique experiences, with all proceeds benefiting ORCAT’s ongoing efforts. Organizers expressed gratitude for the community’s continued support and look forward to Catwalk’s return in 2027. Watch a brief video here.
