Events
PARC is known all over Portland for its puppy- and kitten-snuggling events, but that’s not all! We also host fundraisers, adoption events, and more — all of which support animal rescues in the Pacific Northwest.
To stay up-to-date on all PARC’s events, sign up for our mailing list here.
Kitten Cuddle
Cuddle adorable, adoptable kittens at the annual Portland Retro Gaming Expo!
For a $5 minimum donation, you get five minutes of cuddling time inside our “kitten tents” filled with adoptable rescued kittens. Foster volunteers will be on hand to answer all your questions about these lovable felines; adoption applications will be available, too.
Please note kitten-cuddling reservations are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Depending on turnout, we may need to close the waitlist partway through the event. Please arrive as close to the event start time as possible to ensure you and your party can be accommodated. Thank you!
You can purchase tickets to attend PRGE here. Find the event in room E148. Event hours are 11 am–3 pm daily, Saturday through Sunday (Oct. 18–19).
