This Ontario SPCA Has An Auction And It Is The Actual Sweetest Thing Ever

It's a fundraiser to help the kitties and the puppers. 🐶
Staff Writer

This holiday season an Ontario SPCA is looking to raise money by auctioning off some seriously odd, seriously cute stuff on their Facebook page.

The money goes towards helping rescue animals in Orillia, ON, and there's already some serious money being bid on items like a giant nutcracker doll and a piece of welcome wood (it's a thing; see below).

It's called the Whiskers 'N Wags Auction Gala (because of course it is), you bid by leaving a comment on the post of the thing you like, it ends on November 14, and you can either pick up your welcome wood in Orillia (again, really, see below), or arrange to have it shipped.

A Baby Yoda Yarn Doll

Baby Yoda is all the rage these days, and this hand-made, crocheted doll has a homemade vibe that we are obsessed with. What's inside his incredibly tiny present he's carrying? We can't wait to find out.

Giant Wicker Cactus

The perfect gift for the cactus lover who thinks real cacti are a hassle.

Human-Sized Nutcracker Doll

Because a normal-sized nutcracker doll isn't big enough to showcase just how much of a Christmas fan you are.

Old Dog Harness

That shar-pei knows you're about to pick it up with a harness and it is not happy about it.

Big Penguin

This penguin is three feet tall, about the size of a real-life Emperor Penguin.

Welcome Wood

It’s a piece of wood that says “Welcome” on it. What did we tell you: It's perfect.
