The CatCon snapshots feature feline fans posing in imaginative cat-inspired costumes, falling in love with adoptable cats, and enjoying the meow-y meet-up.
The 2024 meet-up had more purr-suits than a kitten has whiskers; the Pasadena Humane Pet Adoption bustled all weekend long, while the Mad Catter Tea Party rocked "Alice in Wonderland" vibes.
