The Humane Society of Ventura County (HSVC) is partnering with Bodhi Salt Yoga for its first-ever kitten yoga and adoption event on Sunday, Sept. 22, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Bodhi Salt Yoga, 175 S. Ventura Ave., Suite 103B, Ventura. The event promises a day of kitten fun while supporting the HSVC.
This time of year is known as “kitten season,” when warmer temperatures cause more female cats to go into heat. Like many shelters, the HSVC is inundated with kittens during this season. The goal of the event is to find loving homes for many of these baby cats.
Event Schedule:
- 9–11 a.m.: Kitten meet-and-greets and supervised interactions. A designated area in the smaller studio room will allow potential adopters to interact with the kittens. On-site adoptions will be available with a staff member present. Kittens are available for a $60 adoption fee (regularly $150). Please note that kittens cannot go to their forever homes until after the yoga class. However, you can pre-adopt a kitten before the class to ensure you take home your dream kitty!
- 11:15 a.m.–12:15 p.m.: Kitten yoga class led by instructor Whitney Carver. This 60-minute, donation-based class will benefit the animals of the HSVC. During the class, kittens will freely roam the space, offering an unforgettable and adorable yoga experience. Space is limited to 24 participants to allow the kittens more room to explore.
- 12:15–1 p.m.: After the yoga class, pre-adopted kittens can be picked up by their new “pawrents.” Any kittens still available for adoption will remain at the studio until 1 p.m. before returning to the shelter in Ojai.
