Tardi Gras 2026

What is Tardi Gras all about?

Our friend, leader and mentor Louise passed away unexpectedly on March 3, 2024. we refuse to let the anniversary of Louise’s death pass without recognizing it. We have been working really hard to honor all of the years of work she put into the rescue. We believe she would be proud of our efforts and we want to celebrate that.

Louise and her husband Dave used to host a Tardi Gras party for their friends. A Tardi Gras party is sort of a late Mardi Gras celebration.

K’s Kitten Rescue’s Tardi Gras 2026 celebration is scheduled to be held on Saturday, March 7, 2026.
