Cat Meet-up groups

Slick, I'm so glad you were able to go. I viewed the slide slow - the members seem very nice and you look great! Love that Cat Sanctuary, it must have been heaven to spend time there.

Did anyone consider adopting one of the kitties?

I expect more pictures will be put on the site, will look forward to see the rest - and to hear more about your day there.

Did you tell them about PT?

Slick, great pictures.

It looks like you all had a great time too.

I looked for meet-ups not too far from me. I found three groups about 30-40 miles away. Only one of them, in Detroit, has meetups scheduled, which their listing says are only available to members.

I also found this list of people interested in a group - "87 Cat Owners near Ann Arbor, MI are waiting for a Meetup about Cat. " .. in other words, waiting for someone else to organize one!

Maybe I'll look into this further when I have a little more time.. see if I can go to one of those meetings just to see what it's like.

Randi and Slick, what is involved when you sign up for this? Are there fees or dues or other expenses? Do you get a lot of e-mail from them or their sponsors?

Thanks!

Phesina, anyone can start a Meet-Up group. Some charge a small fee for administration of their webpage and for sending e-mails and member lists to everyone, but I think each group do it differently. Not sure. I know that some groups are made private and in that case you have to join to be able to see the member list and what's going on.

In our group, a member suggets a restaurant, or their own house, for a meeting. We get together every few months, usually.

Someone must have started the group you are referring to - see if you can find out who started it and send an e-mail.

Good luck!
