Thank you so much to everyone who joined our BLVD Cat Open House event! It was really special to get together with our local cat people to admire our feline friends while enjoying the new space.

We hope you'll join us at our BLVD Cat Open House event! We warmly welcome you and your cats to check out the new space, enjoy some treats and participate in some cat-centric activities. We'll be utilizing our exam rooms so that our feline friends can have some much deserved privacy to have their picture taken in our Hissing Booth or to complete a fabulous pawcasso painting for you to take home.
