Category: Meetup · Pet attendance: Cats welcome · Price: Free
The first-ever Lincoln Square Cat Tour — a free walking tour celebrating the neighbourhood's window, porch and yard cats. Explore self-guided with the map, or join a guided one-hour tour at 3:00 PM. The area is split into four quadrants — Zoomies, Primordial Pouch, Chonk and Toe Beans — each paired with a local rescue: Harmony House for Cats, Touched by an Animal, Cat-Tastrophe and One Tail at a Time. Cats are welcome on a leash or in a stroller; most people come without one. Same day: CatVideoFest at the Davis Theater and cat cookies at Willow. The day wraps with a casual BYOB block party at Leland & Levitt, 5:00–10:00 PM. Free to attend; donations to the rescues encouraged. RSVP via the official form. Hosted by the Heart of Lincoln Square Neighbors Association.
