Meow! Cat Fest Colorado, celebrating all things “cat,” returns to Denver on Sunday, November 15, 2026 at the National Western Expo Hall (4655 Humboldt St.) — from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. This year’s festival features an expanded show floor, nearly 20 cat adoption booths and more celebrity cats — all for cat lovers and families to enjoy for the day.
The day of feline fun also includes a Kitten Yoga area, Cat Video Cafe, a TICA Cat Show, Nathan the CatLady, a cat art show, an Egyptian Cat Temple, a cat toy craft station, FREE face painting and a full schedule of Main Stage events.
Adoption Meet & Greets
Cats are the main attraction (of course!) and there will be plenty for the attendees to meet. Seventeen local rescue agencies will be showcasing adoptable cats — 690 cats have found their forever homes through the event since 2022.
The International Cat Association
In addition to those cats, The International Cat Association (TICA) will be hosting a Cat Show featuring dozens more cats who can be visited in their benching area. TICA is also hosting Breed Meet-and-Greets for the audience to pet and get information on several popular and exotic breeds.

Celebrity Cats
This year’s guest list is topped off by Nathan the CatLady, comedian and cat enthusiast with more than one million followers on social media. Nathan will be onstage at noon and available for meet-and-greets at his booth throughout the day.
Celebrity cats include Finn the adventure cat from @Finncredibleadventure who will be at his meet-and-greet booth all day and on the main stage with his human for a Q&A at 2 p.m. Other celebrity cats include Baloo from @HenrytheColoradoDog and Xeli the Therapy Cat. Artist Heilig will also be on hand doing live cat art painting demos at 11:30 a.m., 1:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m.
Mystical Egyptian Cat Temple
Cat Fest also celebrates the magical nature of cats with a Mystical Egyptian Cat Temple. Embellished with 8-ft tall Cat Goddess statues, it’s an area where attendees may get a tarot reading, visit with a pet psychic or pay homage to their cats who have crossed over by adding their names or photos to the golden Memory Wall.
More Activities
In addition, there are plenty of ways for cat lovers to be part of the fun, with kitten yoga sessions, a craft station, FREE face painting, and more. Artists young and old can also enter work into the Memorial Louis Wain Cat Art Show.
Cat Video Cafe
Attendees can also take a break to enjoy the Cat Video Cafe, where multiple large TV screens play non-stop cat videos while you grab lunch and sip on a Meowgarita.
