For the LOve of CatCon LA

06.30.16

By Asma Mohammed

The second annual CatConLA took place at The Reef in downtown Los Angeles this past weekend: June 25 and 26. There was over 150 vendors present flaunting their one-of-a-kind cat-themed merchandise. The booths varied from well-known vendors such as Petco and Purina to smaller, indie vendors like the Stay Home Club selling both merchandise for cats and cat-themed merchandise for their owners.

Booths sponsored by large online names such as Cats of Instagram, Meowingtons, and Buzzfeed also made an appearance. Celebrity cats also attended the event and were present for meet and greet events for those who purchased tickets, this year’s celebrity cats were Pudge, Lil Bub, Coffee Cat and his sister Nala. The original Catwoman, Julie Newmar, also hosted a meet and greet event signing books and photos.

Cats were not permitted into the event; however, Funny or Die’s spokesperson for the event, Lucious the Cat, made an appearance in full costume. The event takes place every year in Los Angeles, California and grows each year in size and attendance, and always features adoptable cats, this year 97 cats found a home thanks to CatConLA!

Tickets were only $25 and the amount of free cat food and toys given out at the event make it a great bargain and a wonderful experience for cat lovers of all ages!
