PETCO FOUNDATION NAMED PRESENTING SPONSOR
OF JACKSON GALAXY’S CAT CAMP
Sponsorship Will Expand Extensive Cat Adoption Area to the Public
New York, NY - Jackson Galaxy’s Cat Camp is excited to announce that the Petco Foundation has come on board as the Presenting Sponsor of this year’s event, taking place May 5th and 6th at the Penn Pavilion. Petco Foundation’s partnership will enable Jackson Galaxy’s Cat Camp to raise even more awareness for animal advocacy non-profit groups, senior and special needs cats by graciously funding admission to the event’s adoption center, making it free to members of the public for the weekend.
The official line-up includes special presentations from cat experts, rescuers, and advocates who will speak on a range of topics such as fostering kittens, behavioral issues, cats and social media, special needs animals, and much more. Meet-and-greets with notable cat community celebs include Lil BUB, Hannah Shaw aka Kitten Lady, and the Cat Daddy himself, Jackson Galaxy. There will be breakout workshops with NYC community cat experts and nationally recognized rescue professionals, panels on using social media for feline welfare, a Drag Bingo Fundraiser hosted by Goldie Lox and Ona Louise, and an exhibition area featuring the cutest, coolest, cutting-edge cat gear for both cats and their humans of all ages.
The Petco Foundation will also be on site at the event to film event goers sharing their personal stories about the everyday actions they take to help save cat lives across the country. These stories will be shared during the Foundation’s annual “Be a Lifesaver” campaign, which celebrates the individuals and organizations working to create a lifesaving nation.
“I came up with the idea for Cat Camp while fostering a tiny kitten named Tia, whom I later adopted. Tia was less than 9 ounces at 10 weeks old, and the journey to save her inspired me to learn how we can do more for cats everywhere,” said Cat Camp co-founder Christina Ha. “I’m thrilled to be working with the Petco Foundation to bring stories to light about all the Tia’s all over the country. Our goal is to empower individuals to save lives - if we all do a little bit together, we can accomplish so much as a community and we are so proud to be doing this with the Petco Foundation.”
“At the Petco Foundation, we believe that it takes all of us to create a lifesaving nation for animals, which is why we are proud to support Jackson Galaxy’s Cat Camp efforts to inspire more people to take lifesaving action on behalf of cats nationwide,” said Susanne Kogut, president of the Petco Foundation. “From inspiring others to helping more cats find loving homes in the event’s adoption center, we can’t wait to see the lifesaving impact of this gathering of passionate feline advocates.”
The second annual 2018 event will span two floors within the Penn Pavilion, centrally located across the street from Penn Station on 34th St and 7th Ave, and will take place on Saturday May 5th and Sunday May 6th.
