Hello fish and human friends! KatFish has a very important announcement.

While we are are excited for 2023 collaborations and connections, we will be unable to book any events for February and March. Unfortunately, KatFish is undergoing a surgical procedure and will need ample time to recover.
But, KatFish expects to be up and swimming again soon. Bookings for April, through the remainder of the year, are open! We'd be happy to address any questions or concerns as well.

Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding. Your support, as always, is very much felt and appreciated. KatFish looks forward to making the rest of this year as magical as possible!
