EVENTS

Built for rescuers since 2016

Cat Hustler events are designed around the realities of rescue work: limited time, limited bandwidth, and a lot of competing priorities.
 

Most gatherings are free, drop-in, and informal; easy to attend and respectful of your social battery. Larger, logistics-heavy programs like The Acatemy use registration to remain sustainable, with accessibility supported through values-aligned partnerships.
 

The focus is always on community-first design, transparency, and meeting people where they are.

Symposiums, Lectures, & Webinars

Cat Hustler's engaging, fluff-free sessions empower individuals and organizations with practical tips that anyone can put to put into practice without having a meeting about it.
