Mindful meoweler tips

Volgodonsk's BBQ Festival

Cat visitors to Volgodonsk can head to the annual BBQ festival in June and get a taste of local meat delicacies, while enjoying a lively atmosphere and music.

Don't pet the locals!

Cats should avoid petting local dogs or cats without permission, as Russians tend to be a little less affectionate towards their animals. Some may even see it as rude!

River adventure

Cats can take a boat tour on the Don River to learn about the city's history and enjoy panoramic views of Volgodonsk's skyline.
