It's only $20 to get in, which is a lot more reasonable than some other places in the area that charge $60 for just 30 minutes to an hour. With that being said, it's nothing fancy inside. The space is pretty basic, but they do have a good amount of cats. Just keep in mind that if you stop by later in the afternoon, some of them might be tired from socializing all day. They also offer a $100 monthly membership if you want to come in as often as you'd like. They don't really have a café setup like some other cat cafes do, which is fine, but something to keep in mind if that's what you're looking for. One thing I do like is that they host a lot of cat adoption events.. so that's nice. Worth a visit for sure.

I've been volunteering with United Hope for Animals for about a year now and have had many positive…read moreexperiences. Rescuing animals is not for the faint of heart, and comes with a lot of dirt, heartache and possibility of illness. Fortunately, the people who run the group are willing to overlook all the obstacles and still help the poor creatures who desperately need them. I have helped them photograph dogs, worked adoption events, fostered dogs and am now fostering cats, and know that the good this organization does far outweighs any negatives. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone who wants to volunteer, but this type of work requires a lot of strength and determination to help those who need it most. The joy of helping saving a life is the best feeling in the world.

I was "recruited" into the group after I witnessed a weekend glamour shot day while I was walking dogs at the Baldwin Park Shelter. Volunteering with UHA fulfills a part of me that had been unfulfilled since I had my first pet fish. I am surrounded by people who love animals as much as me, who don't mind having extended discussions concerning potty training, dog behavior, cuteness levels, and types of poop. I feel important, I feel accomplished, I feel like I have people to turn to if I'm having trouble. UHA's main concern is the individual, whether it's the animal or the person. It isn't about numbers, it isn't about politics. It's about finding the best home for one animal, the best fit for the owner. I couldn't imagine a more amazing, selfless, and helpful set of people and animal rescuers. They've made a difference in countless animals' lives, countless owners' lives, and definitely, in my own life. If you're looking to adopt a new fur baby, or just need some help or information, UHA is your rescue!

When I arrived the person at the front desk told me the kitten fair had been cancelled. I decided to take a look at the cats they had. They only had three cats available. The first two cats were older and didn't seem too social. The third cat I saw, Sammy, was very energetic and playful. Sammy was a 9 month old black cat that was apparently dropped off by his owner, alongside his siblings. I went to the front desk and asked about the adoption process, which was fairly simple and easy. I spent $115 to adopt him. I changed his name from Sammy to Pluto. Me and Pluto have been together for a month and I'm very happy that I adopted him, although he can be a handful at times. He's extremely curious and loves to cuddle in bed and watch tv with me.

It has now been many years again since the last adoption, and I know I would return again when the time comes. I see that there have been multiple news items slandering this business and Marina as a person, which I think is ridiculous. I have found her and her practices both completely fair and empathetic. She cares about and remembers these animals even after many years away from them, and has always gone above and beyond offering a hand (even offering boarding if needed for a vacation!) F the haters, if I may say so.

Had SO much fun!! But was also extremely tired by the second day lol (8/2-3/2025)…read more My 200th Yelp review! The Pasadena Convention Center is HUGE and CatCon took up all the spaces there. The line to get in was ridiculously long, wrapped around the block, zig zagging in the back. Make sure to get there two hours before they start or just go closer to noon when the line dies down. There were an overwhelming number of vendors, mostly products with cats on them for people but also some with products for cats. Some lines were extremely long especially the ones for spinning wheels for freebies. Some of the major sponsors were super generous with the freebies which makes sense why the lines were so long, so make sure to get there early otherwise they run out towards the end too. There was also a workshop space with lectures from different speakers, specialists. I didn't end up attending these. The lines for the meet and greets were also very long especially closet to the start time of the meets. They have a limit so again, make sure to line up early if you really want to see the cats. On the first day, I didn't know where all the kittens were and then I later found out that their section was curtained off with black.m curtains and the line to get in was not directly connected to the entrance (I was so confused as to why I didn't see any cats by the end of the day lol). There is so much to see in terms of the vendors. It can definitely take two whole days to experience a bit of everything. In fact, two days is not even sufficient if you also want to attend all the workshops. You really just have to pick and choose what you want to see most. Bring cash if you want to save on taxes with some of the vendors. Most of them take tap and some also take Venmo or Zelle. Most important tip would be to set a budget before going and stick to it lol Room for improvement: I wish there were more booths with cat products and more cats to interact with. The line: could also be managed better. Although it was suuuuper crowded and crazy long lines, I can't wait to go back next year!

There is no food court here, and there are no chairs or tables to sit and rest. Every vendor who gave freebies had a line, and some were very long and not worth the wait. There was a fair amount of vendors/name brands and a ton of small businesses selling their products. Honestly, I think I was mainly upset at the fact that tickets cost so much and there wasn't much to see. They only took up two halls that you can pretty much walk through in less than two hours. There were guest speakers to fill in the time, but again, $50 is a lot for what you get. The Humane Society was there with a lot of kitten adoptions, and their line to get in was long. It was also a bummer to see that many vendors did not have an actual cat at their booths. Many of them used stuffed animal to represent a cat using their products/furniture. I get that having actual cats would create more work for them to keep an eye on, but this is a cat convention after all... I would have liked to see more live cats. Overall, I tried it and probably won't ever come back.
