[Château Gato](https://www.chateaugatowines.com/home?ref=bevnews.net), a new California wine brand built around the mission **“Drink Wine. Save Cats.”**, celebrated the release of its first wines Saturday at We Care Animal Rescue in St. Helena — and reached its $10,000 fundraising commitment on its very first release day.

The impact of the day went beyond fundraising.

During the event, four cats at We Care Animal Rescue found forever homes, turning a wine release into a celebration of the mission that inspired Château Gato in the first place.

“For us, that is what this entire project is about,” said **Eric Wright,** Château Gato Co-Founder and Winemaker. “Seeing people show up, buy the wines, support We Care and believe in this idea was incredible. Then hearing that four cats were adopted made the day even more meaningful. Those are the stories we want Château Gato to help create.”
