Join Us for the 2026 Kitten Pawlooza! 🐾

May 17, 2026 | 2:00 pm


Animal Protection Association (APA) invites you to a purr-fect afternoon celebrating our tiniest — and most adorable — arrivals: the 2026 kittens!

📅 Event Details

Sunday, May 17, 2026
2:00 – 5:00 p.m.
APA Shelter
3808 Hamburg Pike
Jeffersonville, IN 47130


Spend the afternoon in the beautiful backyard of the APA Shelter enjoying fun, food, and feline festivities — all while supporting kittens during the busiest and most critical season of the year.


Why We Celebrate 🐱💛


Kitten Pawlooza helps APA gather essential supplies and raise critical funds to care for every kitten that comes through our doors.

Last year alone:

162 cats and kittens found loving forever homes

138 kittens were welcomed into APA’s care


Each kitten’s veterinary care costs approximately $180, while adoption fees are only $80 — and that doesn’t include food, litter, and daily supplies. Your generosity helps bridge that gap and makes our lifesaving work possible.


🎟 Admission & Donations

Admission is free, but donations are always appreciated. Helpful items include:

Gift cards: PetSmart, Walmart, Target

KMR Feline Milk Replacer (powder)

Fancy Feast or Purina Kitten Food

Royal Canin Baby Cat (wet & dry)

Can’t attend? We have set up online Wish Lists for your convenience:

You can make a cash donation on our website.


🎉 Event Highlights

As our thank-you for coming, APA will provide cake for all guests!
Bottled water, hot dogs, and snow cones will be available for $1 each.

Enjoy family-friendly fun including:

Raffles and mystery pulls

Storytelling and games
