ADOPTABLE KITTY CORNER PRESENTED BY TEDDYBOB
See cats & tiny kittens! The Toronto Cat Rescue will be at meowfest with kitties in Adoptable Kitty Corner. Our mission is to change these kitties’ lives, so whether you’re looking to adopt or just see some very cute cats, we know you’ll make their day.
“INSTAGRAMMABLE MOMENTS”
Take photos with larger-than-life-sized cat cut outs & with our human size cat tree. We’ve discovered there’s a way to get up close and personal with our cats and that’s through becoming one of them! We’ve created a human size interactive cat tree, so you can feel just like your kitty on top of the world. It might sound weird and we are here for it.
MEOW SOCIAL
Connect with other cat lovers in our community by playing our event scavenger game, get a temporary cat tattoo, help us paint a kitten mural, participate in our speed dating session by 25dates.com (meee-ow!) and more.
GIGANTIC FUR BALL
Are you ready to be part of hisstory? At meowfest 2023 in Toronto & Vancouver we are aiming to break records with the world’s biggest fur ball! This is your chance to bring a piece of your cat to meowfest and be a part of something truly unique! You might think we’re joking but we aren’t kitten around. Imagine the pride you’ll feel when you see your cat’s fur become a part of this record-setting accomplishment. Let’s get grooming! All collected fur will be donated to organizations that support environmental and wildlife causes. Find out more here on how to participate.
