Hello Kitty! The first major event dedicated to educating, entertaining and inspiring feline-fanatics is finally coming to Sydney Showground on Saturday 26 & Sunday 27 of August.
Cats across New South Wales will be purring, meowing, and knocking more things off tables than ever before!
“The Cat Lovers Festival is everything that’s cool about cats and a rare opportunity to immerse ourselves in all things feline”, said Festival Founder, Jason Humphris. “We hope that cat-fanatics from across NSW and Australia can attend this fabulous first feline-focussed festival, to join in the fun with other like-minded cat enthusiasts.”
“It’s all about celebrating the unique relationship we share with our cats, discovering insights to help better understand them, with expert tips on how to enrich their lives and be the best cat-parent we can be,” Humphris continued.
“There are no cat parks for our felines, so you just don’t get to see these beautiful creatures walking around the community like our more extroverted dogs. So, to get up close and personal with dozens of breeds and around 200 cats at the Festival is a truly unique opportunity”, Humphris concluded.
