Program Length: 6 Weeks
Session Length: 45 Minutes

Children may observe, participate actively, communicate nonverbally, or move freely throughout the space.
Program Goals: Children will: Build imagination and creativity Develop language and communication skills Practice social interaction Increase confidence Explore emotions safely Strengthen caregiver-child relationships Develop gross and fine motor skills Experience cooperative storytelling

Join us at the Fleischmann Planetarium and Science Center on the First Friday of each month at 6pm for an out-of-this-world combination of Art and Science. Each monthly program will feature a talented local musician, paired with a special Full-Dome program in our 360° theater.

IT'S BACK! We're beyond excited to be partnering with our friends at Lithia Reno Subaru for a special FEE-WAVED ADOPTION EVENT on Saturday, October 3, from 10 AM-2 PM.

These events allow us to connect pets with people outside of our Adoption Center. For some of our longer-term pets, this is an extra-special opportunity for more visibility, giving them a bigger chance of finding a loving home.

Whether you’re ready to adopt, thinking about adding a furry family member soon, or simply want to stop by and support homeless pets in our community, we’d love to see you!

Our trained SPCA-NN team will be on-site to help guide adopters through our standard conversation-based adoption process to help find the best fit for pets and people. 🐶🐱

A big THANK YOU to our partners at Lithia Reno Subaru for supporting our lifesaving mission and for sponsoring the adoption fees for the pets at the event.

Time & Location
Every Saturday from 12:00 PM – 3:00 PM PST
Reno Public Market, 299 E Plumb Ln, Reno, NV 89502, USA

What began as a heartfelt tribute to a beloved Maine Coon, named Nacho Kitty has now become an annual tradition. Bringing together our community for bowling, fun, and a whole lot of love for homeless pets.

Mark your calendars for Saturday, October 3, 2026, and get ready to strike down some pins this year at Coconut Bowl at Wild Island. Making this event even easier for our Reno community, SPCA-NN alumni, and supporters to join!

This tournament helps keep pets with families who love them when an unexpected veterinary emergency arises. What started as one family’s way of honoring their beloved cat has grown into an incredible community tradition, helping raise thousands of dollars for pets to receive the care they need when it matters most.

This event is open to anyone, and you don’t have to bowl to join in on the fun! Come down, cheer on the teams, enter raffles to win prizes, and help raise funds for homeless pets in our care.

Tournament bowlers must be 18+. Check-in begins at 1 PM, and bowling begins at 2 PM
