We would like to extend our gratitude to all vendors who participated in yesterday's Catober Fest. Applications for the 2026 Catober Fest will be distributed in January. We look forward to seeing you again in 2026. Hart would also like to thank our volunteers who helped set up and take down tables. Those who made soup, donated baked goods and soda, those who ran the kitchen did a fantastic job. Also, those who donated gift baskets and sold tickets. Thanks to Ginni Linn and Britt Clouser for the beautiful baskets. Last but not least, our organizers, Tina Young, William Forgy, and Leslie Watova, for their endless hours of planning and bringing this event to life.

Feline artists’ meow-sterpieces will be on sale at Catoberfest. Yes, you can purchase a work of fine art created by a Harrisburg Animal Rescue Team cat! After a human prepped the canvases, creative HART kitties used their paws (and sometimes their whole bodies) to move the paint into one-of-a-kind designs.* These 5x7 pieces will be available framed or unframed. Proceeds go to help current and future HART cats.

The feline artists made their work while in residence at Pet Supplies Plus in Lemoyne. If you adopted from PSP in late 2023 or in 2024, perhaps your cat created one of the pieces for sale. The artists, all of whom have been adopted, are (HART names): Ali, Angel, Beau, Bella, Brewster, Gloria, Jackson, Lucy, Mason, Momma Beesly, Peaches, Pepper, Spencer, and Xander.

* These paintings were made under human supervision, and all paint was contained in plastic bags. No paws were soiled!
