Offsite: Whiskers + Writers + Whiskey at Windy Kitty Cat Café on 6/28

Jun ’19
28
7:00 pm

Celebrate June as National Adopt a Cat Month! In honor of this special month, don’t miss this a night of zinesters, cats & refreshments at the Windy Kitty Cat Café (1746 W. North Ave), just two blocks east of Quimby’s — in a night we’re calling Whiskers + Writers + Whiskey. The fine folks there save orphan kittens, abandoned or stray cats and mama cats with kittens, looking to find homes by offering them for adoption.

Tickets to this special event are $25 and can be purchased at this link. ** Please book in advance as walk-Ins are not permitted **

Join these zinesters for cat-themed readings amongst feline friends:

Anne Elizabeth Moore + Sara McHenry + Jonas + Cynthia Hanifin
