Description
Join us at Get a Gato on Thursday December 11th from 6-8pm for an ornament crafting event that places your furry best friend right into your holiday decor!
You supply a photo of your cat's face to adorn your ornament and we provide the rest of the supplies needed to make an adorable holiday staple you're sure to treasure for years to come. One cat face per ornament please! You can purchase an additional ornament package if you have more than one cat you want to create a keepsake for, just choose how many you would like to create (please keep in mind the even is only 2 hours long though!) in the second step of the ordering process. Food and drink will be available for purchase from our cafe during the event.
The cost of your ticket also includes time with our adoptable lounge cats so please familiarize yourself with our lounge rules listed below!
