The Edmonton International Cat Festival is excited to ameownce that our 2023 event is multiple events!
Get ready for the 2023 Edmonton Cat Fest Week
presented by Homes Alive Pets!
For 2023, the Edmonton International Cat Festival is returning to not just one in-purrson event, but hosting multiple cat-themed events from May 20, 2023 to May 28, 2023, as part of the first-ever 2023 Edmonton Cat Fest Week presented by Homes Alive Pets.
Since 2014, the Edmonton International Cat Festival has held a cat pawty to celebrate cats, cat people and cat culture, while raising money for cat rescues helping cats in need (donating $130,000 for local rescues!) Since 2020 we have hosted virtual events due to the pandemic.
While the 2023 events will be smaller in scale than our typical one-day pawties, 100% of purr-ceeds raised from events and festival sponsors will continue to be donated to a local rescue helping cats in need. This year’s selected donation recipient is Furget Me Not!
There will be an event a day and we’ll ameownce our full Cat Fest Week event line-up soon (including a Celebrity Cat Meet & Greet!)
We’ll also be encouraging you to take advantage of Cat-themed promotions across the city during Cat Fest Week!
In the meantime, SAVE THE DATES and stay tuned for more details!
Edmonton Cat Fest Week runs May 20 – 28, 2023!
with in-purrson and / or virtual events each day

Hi – If you are interested, I can run a cat-themed half-hour low-intensity Zumba class; I’ve been collecting cat-themed music or at least music that has “cat” in the title. I carry liability insurance, but we would have to see if my insurance aligns with the event, if you would like a cat-themed Zumba class.
