      Attention cat lovers! CatCon 2023 is coming back to the Pasadena Civic Center.

      By News Desk

      What to expect at a CatCon convention?

      CatCon is the only cat-centric, pop culture convention in the world. Participants can expect MEOWzing activations, fun seminars, informative displays within the Awareness Pavilion, and an exhibition hall full of carefully curated merch for the cat-loving set. At the heart of it all is the Adoption Lounge, where you can meet an adoptable shelter kitty to add to your family. (Since 2014, 800 cats found their forever homes with onsite groups Best Friends, spcaLA, and Pasadena Humane Society & SPCA).

      There will also be lots of meets and greets and PAWsome workshops led by leading cat experts. Adventure Cat Leo and Pancake Stickypaws will be at the convention, and the Annual CatCon Awards will honor 2023’s Advocate of the Year.

      Tickets are on sale now for Saturday August 5th and Sunday August 6th with Early Bird pricing available until June 1st.

      CatCon has donated nearly $350,000 to organizations including to Ashley’s Kitten Academy, Ferndale Cat Shelter, FixNation, Kitten Rescue, Lil BUB’s Big Fund, Luxe Paws, Milo’s Sanctuary, Odd Cat Sanctuary, Planned PEThood, RedRover, TinyKittens, North Shore Animal League, and the Ian Somerhalder Foundation.
