Coloring with Cats: KIDDIE EDITION! (13yrs & younger)

There are many scientific studies that support the understanding that petting cats and coloring relieves stress and anxiety. So why not do both?

Coloring books and markers (and of course, cats) are provided for this relaxing artistic session. And once everyone is done with their picture, you can choose to take it home or hang it on the altar in the shop for Bastet!

Children ages 13 and under are welcome to this event! (We also have an adults-only event so head to our calendar if you’re looking for that one) Parents please keep in mind that this is meant to be calm and relaxing for all attendees and cat lounge rules need to be followed by all attendees.
