Suki is a gorgeous bengal cat who is always up for an adventure! Suki’s paw-rents took her home as a kitty in March 2017 and since then Suki’s taken them (and BFF Coda the Dog) on more adventures than they’ve ever experienced before! Suki has a bold spirit and you’ll often find her hiking through lush furr-ests, set against majestic meoewtains, or enjoying a cozy campfire. Suki has over 1.3 million Instagram followers and we’re especially thrilled that Suki and her paw-rents are Alberta-based, but with global reach.
Meet Suki the Adventure Cat and her mom Marti on June 1, 2019.
The competition is fierce. The contestants can be catty. And the poses are a-meowzing. Does your cat have what it takes to be crowned Edmonton’s Most Purr-fect Cat? Enter the Cat Festival Photo Contest to win prizes & purr-stige!
