2009 Garden State Cat Expo

This past weekend, NorthStar attended the 2009 Garden State Cat Expo. We had a special "Ask the Vet" segment where anyone could come chat with our specialists: Dr. Weisener, and Dr. Anderson.

The Garden State Cat Club celebrated its 73rd anniversary with its second CAT EXPO. The Expo is designed to educate the cat owning public about cats, cat care, new products and training, while assisting area shelters with its Adopt-A-Cat. The event is complimented by the one of the top five cat shows held in the United States, and is the largest in the Northeast. The Adopt-A-CAT and show draws many visitors from the New York-New Jersey Metro area and all over the Mid-Atlantic States. Exhibitors come from across the United States mostly from the East Coast because between 2,500- 5,000 people attend the show. There is no way we could possibly miss such a great event!
