This fall, the Black Cat Gala returns with a brand-new spotlight-worthy theme: One Night in Hollywood, an unforgettable evening inspired by the golden age of film and dedicated to celebrating 15 years of Kitten Angels’ incorporation.
Join us on Friday, October 30, 2026, from 5:30 PM to 10:00 PM at the elegant Franklin Terrace Ballroom in Troy, NY, for a night of glamour, community, and compassion—all in support of cats and kittens in need.
With early bird pricing at $75 per person (increasing to $90 after August 1), this is one of our most anticipated events of the year, bringing together supporters, volunteers, and animal lovers for an evening that blends celebration with purpose.
A Celebration with Purpose
While the evening channels the magic of old Hollywood, the heart of the Black Cat Gala remains the same: saving lives.
Every ticket, donation, and auction bid helps support the ongoing work of Kitten Angels, including:
Rescue and intake of abandoned and at-risk cats and kittens
Essential spay and neuter procedures to help control overpopulation
Life-saving vaccinations and medical treatment
Critical care such as antibiotics, emergency intervention, and rehabilitation
Nutrition and formula support for orphaned and vulnerable kittens
Preparation for adoption and lifelong placement in loving homes
These efforts are made possible because of community support, and events like the Black Cat Gala are a vital part of funding that mission year after year.
What to Expect at One Night in Hollywood
Guests will step into an immersive experience designed to celebrate both cinema and compassion. The evening will feature:
Hollywood-themed dinner experience - Begin the night with elegance, a champagne toast at the door, and a beautifully curated meal in a classic old movie atmosphere.
Walk of Fame Tribute Experience - Celebrate beloved pets—past and present—by featuring their names on custom balloons displayed in a Walk of Fame-inspired installation.
Auctions, raffles, and wine pulls - Enjoy a lively selection of fundraising opportunities featuring unique items and exciting chances to support rescue efforts in a fun and interactive way.
Special guest experience - Guests will have the opportunity to connect with Casey DeMarse, a gifted psychic medium and intuitive guide, adding a meaningful and unique element to the evening.
Surprises throughout the night - From special moments to memorable touches, the Gala is designed to delight from start to finish.
Sponsorship Opportunities: Be Part of the Spotlight
Sponsorships play a crucial role in making the Black Cat Gala possible. They allow us to expand the event experience while directly funding the lifesaving work that happens long after the evening ends.
This year’s sponsorship tiers are inspired by Hollywood’s most iconic honors:
The Oscar ($5,000+) – Supports nearly 50 spay/neuter surgeries
The Emmy ($2,000) – Helps provide large-scale food and nutrition support
The Grammy ($1,000) – Funds approximately 100 vaccines
The Tony ($500) – Supports critical kitten care and formula
The BAFTA ($250) – Helps provide essential medical treatments like antibiotics
Sponsors receive recognition across event materials, social media, and our website—while also becoming an essential part of a mission that saves lives every day.
Join Us for a Night That Gives Back
The Black Cat Gala is more than an event—it is a celebration of 15 years of compassion, rescue, and community impact. It is a night where glamour meets purpose, and where every guest plays a role in helping cats and kittens find safety, healing, and hope.
We invite you to join us on October 30, 2026, for One Night in Hollywood, and be part of the story still unfolding.
Together, we can continue turning compassion into action, and action into lives saved—one cat at a time.
