If you’re planning on attending ComFest at Goodale Park this year, be sure to stop by Colony Cats (& dogs) booth.

Each year, ComFest provides a happy, friendly and inspiring venue for Colony Cats to educate the public about all of our programs – including trap/neuter/return, colony support, pet rescue, adoptions, fostering, and volunteerism. We'll have a variety of hand-crafted goods and jewelry, plus pet items for sale to fundraise for our cause. (No adoptable pets will be attending.)

Our booth is located at the southeast corner of Goodale Park (just south of the Lincoln Goodale statue, where the four paths intersect). So stop by and say hi!
