Free event. Indoors. Adults only. (No children.)

The Meow Mixer event on May 18 was so much fun! Diane is organizing another cat-centric event. Don't miss it!

There will be folks from the TNR (trap-neuter-return)/cat rescue community there, as well as people not involved in the community who just love cats. We're hoping this event will have between 30 to 45 people present. It will be a great opportunity to mingle with people from different areas of the East valley as well as a chance to learn more about local cat caregiving topics.

About our PREVIOUS event: When we posted the previous event, we had such a tremendous response! Kathy, our wonderful host, announced space for 16 people. RSVPs came in quickly and the spots filled up within hours. Many people beyond the designated maximum asked to come. We ended up having 22 ardent cat-lovers there!

You DO NOT NEED to be a volunteer cat-caregiver or uber-level cat-lover to attend this event. ALL who want to come are invited to attend.

As much as the hosts love cats and all manner of furry friends, only adult humans are invited to this event.

What to Bring: Guests may bring any type of food. Enough to feed about 8 to 10 people. Bring a main dish, salad, side dish, bread, etc. (No desserts, please. We already have enough desserts.) Hosts will provide drinks, plates, utensils, etc.
