Two Year Anniversary Purrrty

It’s officially been TWO YEARS since House of Black Cat Magic opened to the public! It’s been a journey this year full of ups and downs, but we have been so grateful for the support of our local community.

Since opening, in partnership with Binx’s Home for Black Cats, we have found loving homes for over 500 black cats and kittens. We’ve survived a hurricane, given out 3 moving trucks full of cat supplies to those who needed it, and found strength in our community when we needed it most. We’ve celebrated birthdays, family reunions, egg hunts, bachelorette parties, book releases, film nights, markets, and cat celebrity meet-n-greets.

Our third year is bound to be even more meow-gical!

  • Runaway Cafe will be parked outside with tasty coffee, pastries, and food
  • Local vendors will be set up outside so you can shop locally-made goods
  • You could win a Litter Robot 4 in our fundraiser raffle
  • And the cat lounge will be FREE all day long!

So, come and celebrate our two year anniversary with us Sunday, June 8th!

Magical Market

Join us at House of Black Cat Magic in West Asheville for our Magical Market!

A congregation of local makers and practitioners of all things magical, feline, and magically feline. Come and stock up on magical supplies in the shop, browse our market of local vendors, pet some panthers in the cat lounge, and finish your day off with an intuitive reading!

The market is from 12-6PM and House of Black Cat Magic is open from 11-7PM.

The event is FREE for attendees and there is a small booth fee for vendors. A portion of the proceeds from this event will be donated to our partner rescue: Binx’s Home for Black Cats.
