Before the Gala:
Catwalk
Join us from 5:00 to 7:00 for the Mardi Gras Cat Walk as we prowl through the streets of downtown Missoula stopping at each pub that sponsors the event before arriving at our ultimate destination: the Wilma Theatre where the party continues in fabulous fashion!
​
Dress in outrageous Mardi Gras costumes or feline attire and let the good times roll! It’s a great way to start the party at Missoula’s favorite pubs and watering holes!
​
Of course, our top priority is for you to be safe and have a great time! Please don't drink and drive. Call a cab, Lyft or Uber, or have someone who will be a designated driver. Must be 21 to participate. Event will go on rain, snow, or shine!​​​​
In Honor of
Dr. Jani Zirbel and her dedicated staff at
Animal Blessings Pet Hospital has donated over $110,000 in reduces medical costs this year for the kitties that we have cared for. We would not be able to do our life saving work without Animal Blessings' generous in-kind gifts of spay/neuter, specialized surgeries, medications and critical bloodwork. ​
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
