Cat Camp is the meeting point of celebration and advocacy

 

We want our community to join us to celebrate cats as we learn with the next generation of impassioned rescue advocates.

Metropolitan Pavilion
125 W 18th Street
New York, NY 10002

At Cat Camp, you can:

  • Learn more about cats from many of the country's top leading experts in topics from community cats to helping orphaned kittens.

  • Participate in counselor sessions with our speakers.

  • Shop for all of your and your cat's desires by browsing through the offerings of our many vendors.

  • Meet adoptable cats from our partner rescue groups and maybe even find your newest family member.

  • Visit our on-site cat cafe!

 
“As soon as I walked through the doors to speak at last year’s inaugural Cat Camp, I was instantly overtaken with an indescribable sense of joy. Now that we’ve joined forces, you can expect Cat Camp to be even bigger and better with more celebration, more fun, more adoptable animals, more education and advocacy.”

🙌🙌🙌🙌 Lisa has been one of my favorite accounts to follow since the first Cat Camp. The work she does is so important and shows the power of just a single person who decided to take action. Over a hundred lives and families are different now because of her and her husband. 🥳🥳 From @orlando.kittens - Two years ago I created this account on a whim after attending @catcampnyc. I thought maybe...just maybe...that I would be able to find adopters for some of my fosters. My goal was to find adopters for my fosters in an effort to provide them an easier transition from foster to forever and also to free up cage space at the shelter for other cats. • I’m grateful for the opportunities this account has provided me over the past two years including: connecting with other fosters both near and far, serving as an educational platform on kitten care topics and the recruitment of new fosters! • Thank you all for your continued support. Here’s to many more years of saving kittens.😺 #kittensoforlandokittens - #regrann

For #internationalwomensday, we wanted to celebrate some of the amazing women who have been a part of Cat Camp since 2017. It takes a village to create an event like this one and we are so fortunate to work with such talented and compassionate women both on stage and behind the scenes. #catcampnyc #catcamper
Kitten season is starting in NY. Since kitten season will be in full swing during our event this year, we are devoting many of our presentations to be about kittens from talks about orphan kittens and setting up a nursery with @kittenxlady, how fostering saves lives with @myfosterkittens, and how to care for the critical neonates with @thecatlvt. We're also hosting a small group session with these three powerhouses for kitten fosterers - the first batch of tickets have sold out already, but we will be releasing more at the end of the month. Hope to see you in 3 months. Tickets are available in the bio. Thanks to the @petcofoundation, this year, general admission tickets include all the talks so for only $25 for a 1 day ticket, you can sit in on these amazing talks, shop with our vendors, and get to meet your fellow Cat Campers. #catcampnyc #catcamper #fosteringsaveslives #adoptdontshop #cats #cat #catoftheday #catsofinstagram #catsofig #catstagram #catsofinstagram #kitten #kittensofig #kittensofinstagram #kitty #kitties #kittiesofinstagram #tabby #cutecats #cutekitten #instakitten #instacat #meow #bestmeow #ilovemycat
The last video is from Cat Camp last year and it still brings tears to my eyes because it was so beautiful. Happy birthday to The Carb Kitties! From @myfosterkittens - To celebrate #thecarbkitties turning one year old today, I thought I’d share their story as told by @thedodo. It was featured on their #littlebutfierce page and viewed over 74 million times on Fecebook! I have cared for so many neonatal kittens over the years, but never any that were just hours old. We set a trap that night trying so hard to find and trap their mother, but she never returned. Several other cats were trapped and spayed/neutered in that area as a result, but we never found out what happened to their mother. I remember being so worried that these babies wouldn’t survive without a drop of their mother’s milk, but not only did they survive, but they are thriving and it is a privilege for me to be able to see them in their WONDERFUL forever homes! Bagel was the runt of the group I was so scared that she wouldn’t make it.come adoption day, her new mom and I surprised everyone at @catcampNYC when we did her adoption live during my foster kitten training presentation! It was such a wonderful day! @ifyougivezoeyapancake @houseoftabbies @littlespudmuffin #catcampnyc #catcamper #fosteringsaveslives #adoptdontshop #cats #cat #catoftheday
Cat Camp is the only cat convention that brings in over 10 different organizations to showcase adoptable cats. Our partners vary from small volunteer based groups to organizations that have facilities. There will be dozens of cats available for adoption this year and we hope they all find their homes. 📷: @iamthecatphotographer P.S. We will be booking our organizations closer to the event. Stay tuned. #catcampnyc #catcamper #fosteringsaveslives #adoptdontshop #cats #cat #catoftheday #catsofinstagram #catsofig #catstagram #catsofinstagram #kitten #kittensofig #kittensofinstagram #kitty #kitties #kittiesofinstagram #tabby #cutecats #cutekitten #instakitten #instacat #meow #bestmeow #ilovemycat
