October 17 & 18, 2009
10:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.
Jacob Javits Convention Center, 655 West 34th Street, Manhattan
This is New York City's largest cat adoption event, where hundreds of wonderful cats and kittens will be available for adoption from two dozen shelters and rescue groups. This is the annual cat adoption extravaganza that in years past has taken place at Madison Square Garden. This year's Adopt-A-Cat will make its debut at the Jacob K. Javit's Convention Center, in tandem with the AKC/CFA's Meet the Breeds event. Adopt-A-Cat is one of the major events in New York City during the first annual New York Week for the Animals. Don Loprieno, author of The Stony Point Whisker Club, will be signing copies of his book on both days and donating a portion of his book sales to the Mayor's Alliance.
