Hold on to your hats east coast cat lovers! The biggest cat-related event ever to hit NYC will take place March 11 and 12!

The event will include speakers and panel discussions on topics related to our beloved cats, plus cat adoptions will be held throughout the weekend, including one focusing on senior and special needs cats.

The Cat Daddy himself, Jackson Galaxy, will deliver the keynote address, plus he’ll be hosting two VIP receptions. The Kitten Lady, Hannah Shaw, will also be speaking, as well as yours truly, Kate Benjamin from Hauspanther. My talk will be on my favorite topic, “Feline Design: Creating a Home Your Cat Will Love Without Looking Like a Crazy Cat Lady.”
