If you鈥檝e been waiting for an opportunity to connect with other Colorado cat lovers, an event in Denver this weekend has got you covered.
The inaugural opens its doors Saturday at the Expo Center.
鈥淭his is something I鈥檝e always wanted to do,鈥� says founder Brandon Zavala, who also owns the company , known for its Pinot Meow 鈥渨ine鈥� for cats (note: not actual wine).
Inspired by around the country, Zavala put up his own money to get the Snowcats convention off the ground. He says the response has been overwhelming and within a month of launching the website, the event is already self-sustaining. Next up, Zavala says he wants to focus on raising funds for cat-related nonprofits.
鈥淯ltimately I want this convention to be a massive adoption event,鈥� says Zavala.
To get the ball rolling, this year鈥檚 event will have a cat caf茅 with adoptable pets.
Dozen of vendors and organizations will also set up at the Expo Center, and the convention boasts live music, a bar with cat themed drinks like a 鈥渕eow-mosa,鈥� and meet and greets with feline celebrities, like internet sensation .
