(New York, NY) – Travel Cat, the world’s leading brand dedicated exclusively to feline adventuring, is proving that cat parents want—and need—more.

At a time when studies show that cat ownership is exhibiting strong growth, and in some surveys is growing faster relative to dogs, which in certain segments show slower growth or plateauing, Travel Cat stands out not just with its innovative, cat-specific gear—like the bestselling Navigator Backpack to True Adventurer Harnesses —but also with its commitment to consumer education. The Summit covers everything from safe harness and backpack training, to real cat parent travel stories, to wellness and disaster preparedness.

“No other brand in the pet travel category designs exclusively for cats,” said Emily Miethner, co-founder of Travel Cat. “Our products don’t just work for cats—they say cat. That clarity builds consumer confidence and helps retailers stand out to the fastest-growing segment of pet parents.”

With $4,000 in prizes, giveaways, and speakers including Dr. Kristyn Vitale, a Certified Applied Animal Behaviorist as seen in the Netflix documentary Inside the Mind of a Cat and recognized globally for her work in feline behavior, the Summit continues to grow as a premier event for cat parents worldwide. Retail partners like Chewy and Inaba.

Attendees who RSVP will have access to exclusive tote bags filled with goodies, helping to make the Summit tangible beyond the screen. Partner brands providing samples for attendee and influencer gift bags include top pet brands World’s Best Cat Litter, Icelandic+, Yeowww! Catnip, Inaba Churu, Chewy, and Tractive, underscoring the industry’s recognition of the value in engaging this audience.

For retailers, the takeaway is clear: the cat category is growing, and Travel Cat is leading the charge in helping consumers do more with their cats, safely. Stocking Travel Cat means more than selling gear—it means aligning with the top cat brand blending product innovation with education and community.
