Adoption Village

Pasadena Humane is the CatCon charity beneficiary for 2025. $1 from every ticket sold will go towards their animal care and rescue efforts. They’ll also be facilitating kitten adoptions at the CatCon Adoption Village. All cats ready for adoption will be spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped prior to the event. Adoptees will receive a Kitty Starter Kit, along with medical paperwork, and a whole lot more!

Pasadena Humane is more than an animal shelter; they are a community-supported animal resource center providing compassion and care for all animals. Since 1903, Pasadena Humane has offered lifesaving programs and services for animals and the people who love them in the Greater Los Angeles Area. They provide shelter, dedicated care and new beginnings for thousands of the community’s most vulnerable animals every year. In addition to pet adoptions and foster, they offer programs and services to help people care for and keep their pets, such as free and low-cost spay/neuter and vaccines, a pet food pantry, and an animal support call center.
