CULIAT LAUNCHED its flagship pet project, Petstival, a local pet community festival chaired by BJC Lionel Kevin Natividad, 22 May at The Infinity, Angeles City.
Petstival is poised to be an annual event where local pet owners, animal lovers, potential pet parents and pet-care professionals can get together to celebrate their pets, discuss various mental health benefits of having pets, the importance of proper pet care, and the push for local pet adoption drives.
Culiat opened this first Petstival with a pet-owner blessing, a pet education seminar, a summer-themed fashion show where pets and their owners dressed in colorful costumes while gracing the aisle stage with some tricks, and a pet adoption drive in partnership with Noah’s Ark Dog and Cat Shelter.
Noah’s Ark has been home to stray cats and dogs who are being rescued and
are waiting to be given new homes with deserving potential pet parents. Also,
animal welfare advocate Ms. Mitzi Cruz of Best Friends Furever Sanctuary, a pet
sanctuary for senior dogs of the Philippine Animal Welfare Society (P.A.W.S) gave
a talk about responsible pet ownership and upkeep
