The Edmonton International Cat Festival brings together cat lovers to celebrate cats and cat culture, while raising money and awareness for rescues helping cats in need! #YEGCatFest donates 100% of proceeds to local cat rescues. Since 2014, we’ve raised $112,000 for local rescues helping cats in need.
Experience back-to-back and simultaneous CATivities happening LIVE on your screen for 7 hours straight on Caturday, May 30! Virtual attendees can hop back and forth between whichever sessions they like. You can also watch replays of your favourite sessions or sessions you missed (replays available for a week following the festival). All you need to access the livestream festival is a computer or phone with Internet access, and a ticket (register with an email address!)
