6 Things to Bring to CatCon (And 1 Thing to Leave at Home)

WHAT TO BRING

TACO CAT X 2 at 2022

1. COSPLAY. Cat ears, accessories, fashion, and kitty cosplay are encouraged! Don’t worry, if you accidentally leave your cat ears at home, many of our exhibitors  can hook you up.

2. Your phone (DUH!) + portable charger, for all the photos you’ll take!

CatCon is FULL of one-of-a-kind photo ops, like our epic CatCon Caticorn Space, and Meet & Greets with your favorite celebricats and cat-loving celebrities!

Capture the fun with #catcon and #catcon2023 and be sure to follow us @catconworldwide on Instagram,Twitter and Facebook and @catconofficial on TikTok!

3. A small hairbrush and lip balm or lipstick. For those last-minute touchups to help you look your best when snapping pix with your favorite cat-loving icons like Lambo Licia, and Nathan the Cat Lady, and celebricats like One-Eared Uno and Spongecake_thescottishfold!

4. Your favorite payment method. We’ve got 150+ booths full of art, fashion, jewelry and gear for you and your cat. Most of our exhibitors are equipped to handle contactless payment, but cash works, too!

5. A water bottle. Hydration is important when you’re having this much fun! The Pasadena Convention Center has water stations located near the restrooms outside the main exhibit hall.

6. Your Signficant Other, Kids, or Roommates. CatCon is an experience you’ll want to share, and if you decide to adopt a new family member from the CatCon Adoption Village, all family members should be present to meet the cat.

… BUT PLEASE LEAVE YOUR CAT AT HOME

Please leave your cat at home. We know some of you have extremely well-trained cats, some of whom even walk happily on-leash. But CatCon can get very loud and crowded, and even the best-behaved cat would be unhappy in that situation. To ensure the safety of our pets as well as our human guests, so we will deny entry to any attendees who show up with a cat at the door.

If you adopt a cat at CatCon, our adoption partner Best Friends Animal Society will take care of it until you’re ready to go. For the safety of all, you will not be permitted to walk the floor with your new cat. Read all about adoptions at CatCon here.
