Letter from Comfy Carepacks about Fur Fest 2026
Greetings Everyone!
Fur Fest 2026 was an absolute blast and it wouldn’t have been the same without you! On behalf of Comfy Carepacks, thank you for showing up for the animals and our North Hollywood community.
It was truly wonderful to see such meaningful connections being made. Beyond the cute furry faces, this event served as an important networking hub, seeing neighbors, businesses, organizations and pet lovers forge new relationships is exactly how we build a stronger, more supportive pet community.
I want to extend a huge thank you to each and every one of you. Your presence turned the festival into a powerhouse of information and support. By sharing your expertise and resources, you’ve empowered our pet parents with the information they need to give their furry friends the best lives possible.
I am incredibly proud of the impact we achieved together. Thanks to the hard work of the Latino Alliance for Animal Care Coalition and the generosity of the North Hollywood West Neighborhood Council, we provided essential vaccinations and microchips to many community pets, providing peace of mind to so many local families.
It truly takes a village to pull off an event of this scale and I am incredibly grateful to the following:
- Valley Plaza Recreation Center: For providing the perfect venue and the hardworking staff/volunteers who made setup and cleanup look easy.
- LAPD Cadets: For your energy, enthusiasm, and for lending a helping hand wherever it was needed most.
- Noho West Neighborhood Council: For generously providing goodies for both our four-legged and two-legged guests!
- Carol Rose: For your vital donation of water and additional dog and cat food, your generosity is a lifeline for many.
Thank you again for being an important part of Fur Fest. Your participation directly supports the lives of pets and their parents and I am so grateful for your support.
I look forward to seeing you at our future events!
With gratitude,
Tara
