Have you found a litter of kittens and wondered whom to call? Join community cat experts Teri Monbureau and Christine Hernandez for a free workshop introducing Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR), feral cat management practices, local resources for feral cat spay/neuter, and proper use of humane traps.

This workshop is free and all ages welcome!
Christine started her cat career 7 years ago at the San Jose Animal Shelter socializing special needs/shy cats & kittens. Feeling she needed to do more to help prevent so many cats from entering the shelter, she immersed herself in TNR. To date 472 cats will not have litters of kittens due to to her trapping efforts. In addition to her TNR work, Christine cares for 5 community cat colonies.
Teri got involved with cat rescue 3 years ago volunteering for feral colony care with 13th Street Cats . A few weeks of care and feeding of several managed colonies made her aware of the pronounced need for additional trappers to spay/neuter newly arrived community cats as well as to get sick or injured colony members to a vet for treatment. She attended a TNR training session, watched You Tube videos on trapping cats, and has been at it ever since!

Greet the holiday season with a very special concert; join the resident felines of The Dancing Cat, and be enchanted by artist Kevin Kihara performing a ‘sound sculpture’ on the Halo. This modern musical invention, a sister instrument to the Swiss Hang, is a steel handpan, whose play marries rhythm, melody, and harmony in a single flow. Rich in timbre and very expressive, handpans are made for free improvisation and meditative exploration. Plan a memorable date night or come solo and meet new friends (two-legged and four-legged), and immerse yourself in an evening of captivating sound. Contribution: $30 (includes time with the cats!). There are 12 seats available for this musical journey About the artist: Kevin Kihara spent eight years caring for his father, who had been diagnosed with Parkinson's. To cope with his father’s passing, Kevin learned how to play the Halo — an instrumental-cousin of a steelpan, which has a gentle, hypnotic sound. He began performing in public spaces in Berkeley to quiet his own mind, and found his playing was able to ease stress in others as well. Now Kevin plays from his soul to inspire our collective compassion within ourselves and the world.

Kitten season is approaching and it's time to take a look around your neighborhood. Do you notice cats in your area that don’t seem to have a home? Have you found a litter of kittens and wondered whom to call? Join community cat experts Teri Monbureau and Christine Hernandez for a free workshop introducing Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR), feral cat management practices, local resources for feral cat spay/neuter, and proper use of humane traps. This workshop will offer the knowledge and skills needed to help feral kittens and stray cats in your community. This workshop is free; donations are always appreciated and all funds go directly toward The Dancing Cat's mission of connecting loving, wonderful adult cats with their forever homes. All ages welcome! About the Presenters: Christine started her cat career in 2010 at the San Jose Animal Shelter, socializing special needs, anxious, and shy cats & kittens. Feeling she needed to do more to help prevent so many cats from entering the shelter, she immersed herself in TNR. To date, Christine has helped make sure that over 500 cats will not have unwanted, over-populating litters of kittens through her trapping efforts. In addition to her TNR work, Christine cares for 5 community cat colonies. Teri got involved with cat rescue in 2014 volunteering for feral colony care with 13th Street Cats, a San Jose local rescue organization. A few weeks of care and feeding of several managed colonies made her aware of the pronounced need for additional trappers to spay/neuter newly arrived community cats as well as to get sick or injured colony members to a vet for treatment. She attended a TNR training session, watched YouTube videos on trapping cats, and has been a proponent of it ever since!

Greet the spring with a very special concert; join the resident felines of The Dancing Cat, and be enchanted by artist Kevin Kihara performing a ‘sound sculpture’ on the Halo. This modern musical invention, a sister instrument to the Swiss Hang, is a steel handpan, whose play marries rhythm, melody, and harmony in a single flow. Rich in timbre and very expressive, handpans are made for free improvisation and meditative exploration. Plan a memorable date night or come solo and meet new friends (two-legged and four-legged), and immerse yourself in an evening of captivating sound. Contribution: $30 (includes time with the cats!). There are 12 seats available for this musical journey About the artist: Kevin Kihara spent eight years caring for his father, who had been diagnosed with Parkinson's. To cope with his father’s passing, Kevin learned how to play the Halo — an instrumental-cousin of a steelpan, which has a gentle, hypnotic sound. He began performing in public spaces in Berkeley to quiet his own mind, and found his playing was able to ease stress in others as well. Now Kevin plays from his soul to inspire our collective compassion within ourselves and the world.

All ages welcome! About the Presenters: Christine started her cat career in 2010 at the San Jose Animal Shelter, socializing special needs, anxious, and shy cats & kittens. Feeling she needed to do more to help prevent so many cats from entering the shelter, she immersed herself in TNR. To date, Christine has helped make sure that over 500 cats will not have unwanted, over-populating litters of kittens through her trapping efforts. In addition to her TNR work, Christine cares for 5 community cat colonies. Teri got involved with cat rescue in 2014 volunteering for feral colony care with 13th Street Cats, a San Jose local rescue organization.

Saturday August 18th, 2018 | 10AM-11:45AM In our fast-paced, fur-raising world there are many reasons to take a moment to learn origami, the ancient paper folding art which has long roots in both Japan and China; relaxed focus, gentle critical thinking, hand-eye coordination, and creative expression all come together as you put paws to paper. Are you more mathematically- than artistically-inclined? Come put geometry and fractions to work in creating beautiful paper sculptures. Origami is an art form for everyone – peaceful, portable, upcycle-able, and perfect for making paper cats! During this workshop Denise Wang, of the South Bay Origami Group, will lead folders through the basics of origami, and into a few feline-inspired sculptures for you to show off at home. This workshop is intended for folders 12-years old and up, and artists of all skill level (from beginner, to more experienced) are welcome. You are welcome to bring a beverage or snack of your liking, or buy something from (and support) The Dancing Cat. Wifi, catnip, and kitty-critiques are on the house. Class fee: $30 per person Only 10 spots available, so sign up soon! About Denise: Denise used to fold traditional Origami models as a kid. In recent years, a series of incidental encounters reconnected her with this childhood hobby, and opened her eyes to the fascinating world of modern day Origami and the multitude of intricate techniques involved in paper folding. Since this reconnection, Origami has become a channel for her creativity, acts as a form of meditation, and become an unexpected platform for learning. Currently, Denise continues her Origami journey while teaching this incredibly fun art form to others.
