How Kansas City Kitty got its start

This is the story of how two women turned their dream into a reality. Hard work, determination, and the help of a classic cartoon from the 40's brought to Old Town, Fort Collins Kansas City Kitty. The story starts here.

This is Trista Price and Christie Wolf Guthrie. At first they were strangers.

Christie moved to Colorado to attend Colorado State University, while Trista followed a friend out to Colorado.

Both having worked in corporate retail and having been introduced by mutual friends, Christie and Trista sparked an idea.
