A: We have four ticket types this year:

• Kitten Admission (12 & under): Free! Children under 12 still require a ticket to reserve their spot.

• General Admission (13–54): $8 early bird, $12 at the door. Full access to all exhibits and activities.

• Silver Whiskers Pass (55+): $5 early bird, $7 at the door. A special rate for senior cat enthusiasts.

• VIP Purrk Pass & Swag: $30 early bird, $45 regular. Limited to 200 tickets, each includes an exclusive swag bag and early access to shop one hour before the event opens for general admission.

Early bird pricing ends two weeks before the event.

A: All ticket holders have access to all exhibitors, activities, and food areas.

A: Yes! During the final hour of the event, we offer half-price tickets for General Admission ($6) and Silver Whiskers Pass ($4). Kitten Admission remains free. These will be available for purchase on the day of the event.

A: Ticket upgrades may be possible depending on availability. Please contact us at events@meowmaniaexpo.com for assistance.

While we do not offer refunds, ticket holders may receive a credit equal to the value of their original ticket. Credits can be applied toward any future Meow Mania event or another eligible ticket purchase. Credits are non-transferable and cannot be redeemed for cash.

No, swag is no longer free for early attendees. This year, swag is included only with the VIP Purrk Pass, which also comes with early access to shop one hour before the event opens to the public. Only 200 VIP Purrk Passes are available, so be sure to grab yours early to secure your swag bag.

We’re hoping in the future we can secure enough sponsorships and donations to provide free swag again for early attendees.

If you want to take advantage of the early shopping you will need the VIP Purrk Pass. The only tickets permitted will be kittens during the early hour. As soon as our normal hours begin, general admission are welcome in the VIP line if tickets were purchased together.

No, the early shopping entry is a perk of the VIP pass and it is optional if you prefer to come later in the day. The expedited line will be available till 5pm.
