Catfest - Colorado's coolest cat event is coming

Join the Denver Dumb Friends League for the 8th annual CatFest on Saturday, July 9, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. This fun-filled event is truly the cat’s meow as DDFL invites cat lovers to celebrate our feline companions while helping to find homes for the cats and kittens at the shelters.

CatFest will feature dozens of cats and kittens available for adoption, educational demonstrations on how to clicker-train your cat, pet behavior and veterinary advice from experts, activities for kids and the “Meow Market,” where guests can peruse unique cat-inspired merchandise from a variety of local vendors. There will also be food trucks and music to round out this enjoyable summer event.

If you’re looking to adopt a new feline friend, DDFL will be offering $10 adoption fees for all cats (1 year and older). Cat adopters will receive a free goodie bag upon adoption.

“Putting cats first is an important part of the compassionate care we provide at the Dumb Friends League and CatFest is a great way to highlight what wonderful companions they are,” said Bob Rohde, President and CEO of the Dumb Friends League.

All cat adoptions from the Dumb Friends League include a spay/neuter surgery, initial vaccinations, a microchip implant and a free follow-up office visit with a participating veterinarian.

Admission to CatFest is free, and all ages are welcome. CatFest is sponsored by Hill’s Science Diet® and takes place at the Dumb Friends League Quebec Street Shelter, located at 2080 S. Quebec St. in Denver. Adoption pricing specials during CatFest will also be honored at the Buddy Center in Castle Rock and all partner locations where Dumb Friends League cats are available for adoption.
