EXOTIC FELINE CENTER PLANS FUND-RAISERS.

Byline: KAREN THACKER

ROSAMOND - Two big events for the Exotic Feline Breeding Compound are coming up soon - the Fabulous Feline Follies and the Twilight Tour.

The Twilight Tour on Aug. 24 will start at 5:30 p.m. - a time when the cats are more alert. Tickets are $15 per person. All attending must be 18 years old or older.

Proceeds benefit the compound, a nonprofit organization.

The seventh annual Fabulous Feline Follies will be at the Rosamond compound again this year. The date is Sept. 21, starting at 5:30 p.m.

The follies includes a barbecue and dinner dance, a silent auction and raffle. Tickets are $50 each, and raffle tickets $5 each or five for $20.

The money raised is specifically for construction of the Small Felines Breeding facility to house the ``little'' big cats, some of which weigh only 4-1/2 pounds at maturity. Sixteen species of small felines are on the brink of extinction, according to EFBC officials.

The goal is to raise $15,000 for the small-cat breeding area.

The entry fee is $70 per person and covers green fees, continental breakfast, refreshments on course and after play.
