We were doing some very serious festival work (scrolling cat content) when we stumbled across this. Apparently Fluff is kind of a big deal. 😼🍸

Meet Fluff in the City, a feline femme fatale with main-character energy, a booming career in PR (that's Purrs and belly Rubs), and absolutely zero interest in commitment. Honestly, we're a little intimidated.

Fluff is repped by Glamour Puss, the most exclusive pet talent agency around, and its superstar agents are bringing their open call to the 2026 Scranton Fringe Festival, October 8–10 at AFA Gallery. Our friends at Kitties of NEPA Pet Rescue are joining in with real adoptable kitties, who, unlike Fluff, are VERY ready to commit. 💕
