CatConLa

Part expo, part symposium, CatConLA showcases the world’s top cat-centric merchandise including furniture, art, toys and clothing for those of us who possess a great love of the feline, as well as conversations with some of the top cat experts in the world. A dollar for every ticket sold, as well as a portion of the net proceeds from CatConLA merchandise, will benefit FixNation, a non-profit organization committed to reducing the homeless cat population through Trap-Neuter-Return.
