Overview
- The volunteer-run tour, which took place Saturday, Aug. 8, 2026, followed a CatVideoFest screening and featured more than 120 cats and dozens of attendees from outside Lincoln Square.
- The tour was free to attend while the Davis Theater’s CatVideoFest charged $10.08 for tickets as a nod to International Cat Day and donated a portion of proceeds to local shelters.
- Organizers created a publicly shared digital map that listed participating cats by name and address to guide attendees and coordinate stops.
- Volunteers partnered with four local adoption groups — Touched by An Animal, Harmony House for Cats, One Tail at a Time and CatNap from the Heart — and worked with nearby businesses that offered discounts to participants.
- Participants said the event built neighborhood ties, helped owners share pet-care resources, and organizers reported interest from other communities to replicate and expand the Caturday format.
