The Old Idaho Penitentiary will host its yearly Dennis the Cat Day to commemorate “one of the site’s best liked and most respected figures” from 12-5 p.m. Sunday at 2445 Old Penitentiary Road in Boise.

According to an Idaho State Historical Society news release, there will be food trucks, regional suppliers, minimal edition Dennis the Cat Day product available for purchase and discussions throughout the celebrations.

Legend has it that Dennis the Cat was smuggled into the jail as a kitten by a prisoner. He lived at the penitentiary for 16 years and was well liked by prisoners and staff alike.

Upon his death in 1968, the prisoners at the Old Idaho Penitentiary produced a headstone for the precious cat. It is the only significant tomb within the jail. Since then, Dennis the Cat has actually ended up being a mascot for the penitentiary, with members of the general public continuing to pay their aspects for the feline.

Dennis’ real birthday was May 26, 1952, suggesting that Dennis the Cat Day is being held simply 2 days after the mascot would have actually turned 71.

The Old Idaho Penitentiary and the Idaho State Historical Society welcome the general public to commemorate Dennis the Cat and to motivate assistance for the not-for-profit animal neighborhood in Idaho.

General admission to the occasion is $10 per individual, or it is complimentary for members of the Idaho State Historical Society. The Prison Pets discussion at the occasion is complimentary to participate in with a contribution of animal food to either the Idaho Humane Society or Simply Cats, both of which are in your area based no-kill animal shelters.
