28 Fredericksburg Parent and Family • October 2024
We are thrilled to announce the inaugural Canal Quarter
Walking Cat Tour, a unique event that brings together
cat lovers, history buffs, and local enthusiasts. Hosted by
FXBG Advance, Fredericksburg Parent, and proudly spon-
sored by Haley's Honey Meadery and Canal Quarter Arts,
this tour promises a memorable afternoon exploring the
charm of the historic Canal Quarter while discovering its
feline residents.
Here are the top 10 of the 15+ cats on the tour. You might also see some
of the managed colony of feral cats residing on Charles Street and other
friendly outdoor cats with homes in the area. (We particularly hope to see
the famous and social cat-about-town Dude.) It's a perfect opportunity
to enjoy the beauty of the Canal Quarter, learn about its rich history, and
meet some of the furry personalities who call this area home.
