I'm glad so glad the CWA conference is "Live in 2025"! Flying in to Indianapolis from Texas and looking forward to seeing long time friends and meeting new people in the cat realm.
That's wonderful to hear! We are so excited for the conference and can't wait to see everyone there. We hope you have a fantastic time catching up with friends and making new connections!
