Founded by journalist Susan Michals,[2] the event debuted in 2015 at The Reef[3] in downtown Los Angeles, returned there[4] in 2016, and has been hosted at the Pasadena Convention Center[5] from 2017 onward. Described as a comic con for cat people,[6] the event advocates for the adoption of cats and raises money for cat-related charities.[7][8]
