June 5-11, 2003 mixpicks Morris Animal Refuge BenefitWhole Foods Market, the all-natural, all-the-time supermarket for the Center City set, will be featuring dogs and cats next week at its South Street store. Not as high-protein ingredients for your Atkins diet, of course, but as part of its 5% Day to benefit the Morris Animal Refuge. Morris, one of the oldest animal shelters in the country (and the first to take in homeless kitties), will set up shop at Whole Foods all day Wednesday to raise money and awareness for the plight of stray animals. Five percent of the store's sales will be donated to the 128-year-old shelter, which has a full range of services for strays at its 1242 Lombard St. location, including a surgical suite to spay and neuter the animals that pass through its halls before adoption. The event will feature entertainers, animal experts and local celebrities. Trio Nova will display their bossa nova sound at 11 a.m. and Philly's own Robby Brawn will play songs from his children's album, Feline Fiesta. Another musician who calls Philly home, Belgrade-born jazz guitarist Giga Shane, will close out the evening, during which celebrity baggers, including District Attorney Lynne Abraham and mayoral candidate Sam Katz, will offer to pack your snacks. Politicians bagging groceries and pressing the flesh at an animal benefit? It wouldn't happen to be an election year, would it? Well, this is Philly, after all. No matter what your political leanings, everyone can agree that saving some of our city's most unloved residents (the animals, not the politicos) is a good cause. Morris Animal Refuge Benefit, Wed., June 11, 8 a.m.-10 p.m., Whole Foods Market, 929 South St., 215-735-9570, www.morrisanimalrefuge.org.
