Participation in Cat Tours

Participation in a Chicago Cat Tour is voluntary.

Chicago Cat Tour may provide suggested routes, maps, event information, and other guidance, but participants are responsible for their own safety and decisions while attending or traveling to an event.

Participants should respect private property, public spaces, participating hosts, residents, businesses, animals, and other members of the community.

Please do not enter private property or homes unless you have been explicitly invited to do so.

Cats and Animals

The Chicago Cat Tour celebrates cats and responsible interaction with animals.

Participants should not attempt to touch, feed, pick up, photograph closely, or otherwise interact with a cat unless the cat's owner or handler has given permission.

Not every cat participating in a tour will be comfortable with people, and cats should always be allowed to retreat or remain undisturbed.

Participants are responsible for supervising any pets they bring to a tour.

Event Changes and Cancellations

Chicago Cat Tour events may be changed, postponed, relocated, or canceled due to weather, safety concerns, circumstances involving participating hosts, or other factors.

We will make reasonable efforts to communicate significant changes through the website, email, social media, or other available channels.

Chicago Cat Tour does not guarantee that any particular cat, host, business, organization, activity, or location will be available during a tour.
