The cats are taking over the capital — and you’re invited!

We’re bringing together cat lovers, rescues, businesses, and artisans for a one-of-a-kind celebration of our feline friends.

Presented By

Brandywine Valley SPCA • The Big Bad Woof • Doggystyle Bakery • Wunder Garten
…with support from local sponsors, personalities, and community partners.


Why Capital Cat Fest?

Cats are often underrepresented — in shelters, in the media, and in public events. We’re here to change that.

The Capital Cat Festival is more than just a gathering; it’s a movement to:

  •  Celebrate cats in all their quirky, lovable glory

  •  Increase fosters and adoptions across the region

  •  Build bridges among local rescues and animal advocates

  •  Educate the public about feline health, behavior, and enrichment


What to Expect

✨ Adoption & foster opportunities
✨ Expert talks and Q&A sessions
✨ Artisan market featuring cat-themed goods
✨ Community-building with local rescues & shelters
✨ Fun for the whole family (yes, humans too!)
