Whiskers and purrs: Greater Victoria’s first catwalk hailed as a hit

The first Fernwood Catwalk took place on May 31, 2025, in the Victoria neighbourhood, drawing over 400 participants on a 7.6-kilometre route.
The event originated as a simple idea before expanding into a community gathering featuring 21 cat stops and 28 felines of varied ages and breeds.
Notable cats Leo, Hunk, and Bones reside near where Belmont Avenue meets Pembroke Street, with Hunk being a three-year-old orange Maine Coon weighing 25 pounds and recognized for his loving personality.
Organizer Lisa Karoway described the turnout as "amazing," and Leo's owner Hannah Caradonna called him a "gentle giant" who is outgoing and friendly despite an intimidating look.
The successful first event exceeded expectations and organizers plan to hold the Fernwood Catwalk again to showcase the community’s cats to a wider audience.
