What happens when you combine yoga, kittens, and a community full of animal lovers? Pure joy! Our second-annual Kitten Yoga event at the Humane Society of Ventura County was a huge success, filled with laughter, stretches, and plenty of whisker kisses.

Hosted in partnership with our friends at Bodhi Salt Yoga, both sessions of the event completely sold out, bringing dozens of yogis to our new community room for an afternoon of feline-filled fun. Led by Bodhi Salt’s own Whitney Carver, each 30-minute class featured gentle, donation-based yoga flows, surrounded by free-roaming kittens eager to “assist” with poses!

We’re thrilled to share that two adorable kittens found their forever homes right from the yoga mats. Together, our amazing participants helped us raise nearly $1,000 for the animals at HSVC! This event also highlighted an important cause in the animal welfare world known as kitten season. Each year, warmer weather brings an influx of kittens into shelters like ours, and community events like Kitten Yoga help us find these young felines the loving homes they deserve while supporting continued care for those still waiting.

A huge thank-you to everyone who attended, donated, and helped make this event possible, and to Whitney and Bodhi Salt Yoga for their continued partnership. With full classes, happy adopters, and lots of purrs, this year’s Kitten Yoga was truly a success from start to finish. Stay tuned for future yoga and adoption events; you never know when the next stretch might lead you to your new best friend!
