INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Purr Prom, a cat-themed prom event organized by Pet Pals TV, is set to take place on Saturday, August 9, benefiting Indy Neighborhood Cats.

The event aims to support trap-neuter-return programs, which are crucial for managing the population of community cats and reducing the number of kittens entering shelters.

“By raising money for Indy Neighborhood Cats, we’re going to be helping them relieve that stress,” Patty Spitler, host of Pet Pals TV, said.

Purr Prom will feature a VIP experience where attendees can take prom pictures with kittens, offering a unique and fun night out for cat enthusiasts. While attendees are encouraged to submit photos of their cats for the King and Queen nominations, organizers advise against stressing cats by dressing them up for the event.

The event will not host on-site adoptions, but some kittens present may be adoptable, allowing attendees to follow up with applications later. The fundraiser highlights the importance of trap-neuter-return programs, as 80% of kittens entering shelters come from outdoor cats, emphasizing the need for community action to manage this issue.
