CAToberfest began in recognition of National Feral Cat Day, which was celebrated on October 16 and was described simply as ‘a Celebration of Cats’!  While that would still be appropriate, we now describe it as a ‘Feline Festival and Fundraiser’ in recognition of what is now Global Cat Day on October 16. What has not changed is the two-fold goal of the event BOTH to raise funds and to provide community education. You will notice some event features that are not related to fundraising, such as EduCATion, and Kids’ Activities.  These are intended to share information that will become useful to you or to cats in our community. Of course, that includes information about the health and well-being of cats, the importance of spay and neuter, the plight of homeless, community cats and the purpose of TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return). 

Thank you for being here and please enjoy CAToberfest!
