Brush Up on Pet-iquette 

We'll be swimming in a sea of adoptable cats and famous feline personalities, so it's essential to brush up on your cat social skills. Remember, each cat has its own purrsonality. Some might be friendly, while others might be skittish. So, follow their lead and ask their cat parent for permission before approaching, petting, or snapping a selfie with their fur ball. Let's keep the respect levels high, especially amidst the wild and wonderful festivities that might push some cats out of their comfort zones. 

Plan For The Events You Want To Go To

There will be so many amazing events planned for Toronto. With so many purrformances, photo-ops, meet & greets, prizes, and live DJ, it can be daunting to figure out all the things you want to do!
