KAKATO FESTIVAL 暨高輪單車同樂日2025已於12月6日(六)至7日(日)假新蒲崗東華三院東蒲順利舉行，本次活動以「凝聚社區力量，傳遞溫暖同行」為主題，由全球華人傑出青年、大灣區傑出關愛女企業家、萬士博(亞洲)有限公司、Kakato卡格高級寵物食品及亞洲高輪單車總會的創辦人，方心如博士主辦，響應特區政府推動文化、體育、旅遊及寵物經濟發展的政策。本屆活動以80、90年代為主題，結合潮流經典、文化體育、人寵同樂、特色市集及慈善保育等元素，吸引市民攜同寵物到場參與，展現社區共融精神。

‍

活動首日12月6日下午的開幕典禮後，隨即舉行了寵物界年度盛事─ 第四屆卡格動物毛範獎頒獎典禮。此獎項由方心如博士設立，旨在分享動物與人之間的勵志故事，傳遞逆境中的正能量，並推動社會關注動物福祉。

‍

【年度貓模 Rocky】 從埃及街頭被救起的獨眼貓，先天小腦發育不全卻依然溫柔。主人跨越半個地球給牠一個家，即使後來確診腹膜炎，他們仍攜手奮戰，訴說著「領養不棄養」的堅定承諾。

‍

【年度狗模 Momo】 15歲的模範義工犬，與媽媽相依為命。從上山下海到走進校園、安老院宣導愛護動物，Momo證明老狗也能活出精彩，持續以生命影響生命，推動負責任的寵物主人文化。

‍

【年度毛孩天使 東師傅】 當狗場面臨迫遷，他毅然接手，在荒地上創建「八忠館」。從傷病幼犬到年老生命，這裡成為被遺棄毛孩的避風港，用雙手與無私的愛，守護每一個需要溫暖的毛孩。

‍

典禮上，得獎者分享的動人故事令在場人士無不動容，不僅呼應了關懷與希望的主旨，更將這份感動直接延伸到場內的卡格動物食物銀行與貓狗領養攤位，將理念化為實際支持，向公眾傳遞領養的意義、對流浪動物的援助，以及共建人寵和諧社會的願景。

‍

活動另一亮點高輪單車體驗亦大受歡迎。大會邀請了專程從澳洲來港的多屆澳洲冠軍 Simon Weir 先生及高輪單車匠人、曾獲得28面獎牌的 Danial Bolwell 先生，親臨現場與公眾交流及分享他們對這項擁有百年歷史經典運動的經驗，吸引市民親身嘗試這項「高人一等」的單車運動所帶來的獨特樂趣。

‍

此外，場內精心打造的80、90年代懷舊文化主題區規劃寬敞舒適，令市民流連忘返。無論是「陳百強經典珍藏展」、黑膠唱片與巴士模型展覽、Little Cookie的香港舊城區人偶攝影藝術，還是安泰工作室的懷舊微縮模型，都讓人深深沉浸於昔日情懷。如今已難得一見的波子機、跳飛機等經典遊戲區，更是讓大人小孩都興奮開懷。現場更有懷舊金曲演唱，成功勾起不同世代市民的美好回憶。活動亦體現了對社區健康的關懷，包括大灣區醫療專業發展團隊及城市大學獸醫團隊，在場提供免費的人寵健康評估服務，並特別邀請了耆康會方樹泉中心的長者到場參與，親身體驗懷舊文化與人寵同樂的溫馨氛圍。

The KAKATO FESTIVAL and Penny Farthing Fun Day 2025 concluded on the weekend of 6th (Saturday) and 7th (Sunday) December 2025 at Tung Po, TWGHs, San Po Kong, radiating an atmosphere of unity, compassion, and celebration. Embracing the theme “Uniting Community Strength, Spreading Warmth Together,” the two-day extravaganza brought together people from all walks of life to share in the spirit of harmony, kindness, and cultural appreciation.

‍

The event was spearheaded by Dr. April Fong—Managing Director of MaxiPro (Asia) Limited and Kakato® Premium Foods, Founder of the Asia Penny Farthing Association, and honoured as a Global Outstanding Chinese Youth and GBA Outstanding Caring Woman Entrepreneur—in alignment with the Hong Kong SAR Government’s vision to advance culture, sports, tourism and the pet economy.

‍

Infused with the nostalgic charm of the 80s and 90s, this year’s festival offered a delightful fusion of classical melodies, cultural and sporting spectacles, pet-friendly fun, charity drives, conservation campaigns, and a vibrant themed bazaar. The lively scene, graced by attendees with their beloved pets, epitomised community inclusiveness and the warmth of shared joy.

‍

The festivities commenced with a grand opening ceremony on the afternoon of 6th December, followed by one of the most anticipated highlights in the pet industry — the 4th Kakato Animal Furdel Awards Presentation. Founded by Dr. Fong, the Awards celebrate the extraordinary stories of animals whose courage and spirit inspire humankind. Each tale, a testament to faith, perseverance, and unconditional love, uplifted hearts and reminded all present of the profound bond between people and their animal companions.‍

‍‍

[Furdel Cat of the Year - Rocky]

An one-eyed cat rescued from the streets of Egypt, born with cerebellar hypoplasia yet remains gentle. His owner traveled halfway across the globe to give him a home, and even after being diagnosed with peritonitis, they fought together, exemplifying the steadfast commitment of "adopt and don't abandon."

‍

[Furdel Dog of the Year - Momo]

A 15-year-old model volunteer dog, living closely with his owner. From hiking and swimming to visiting schools and elderly homes to advocate for animal welfare, Momo proves that older dogs can live vibrantly, continuously influencing lives with his own and promoting responsible pet ownership culture.

‍

[Furkid Angel of the Year - Master Tung]

When a dog shelter faced eviction, he took over without hesitation, establishing the "CK8 Adoption" on barren land. From sick and injured puppies to elderly lives, this place has become a haven for abandoned furry friends, using his hands and selfless love to protect every animal in need of warmth.

‍

During the Awards Ceremony, the heartfelt stories shared by the winning animals deeply moved every guest in attendance. Their tales of resilience and love not only echoed the festival’s themes of care and hope, but also inspired meaningful action. This emotional connection seamlessly extended to the Kakato Animal Food Bank and the pet adoption booths on-site, transforming compassion into tangible support. Through these initiatives, the event beautifully conveyed the importance of pet adoption, aiding stray animals, and nurturing a vision of a harmonious society where humans and animals coexist in mutual respect and care.

‍

Another beloved attraction of the festival was the Penny Farthing Experience Trials, which drew tremendous interest from the crowd. The organisers were honoured to welcome Mr. Simon Weir, multi-time Australian champion, and Mr. Danial Bolwell, renowned penny farthing craftsman and holder of 28 medals, who both travelled specially from Australia to Hong Kong. Their captivating interactions and sharing of stories about this century-old cycling tradition fascinated visitors, many of whom eagerly seized the opportunity to experience firsthand the unique thrill and elegance of riding the historic penny farthing bicycle.

‍

Adding to the charm of the weekend, the 80s and 90s Retro Cultural Zone within the venue offered a spacious and nostalgic setting where time seemed to pause. Visitors delighted in immersive displays such as the “Danny Chan Classic Collection Showcase,” vintage vinyl records and bus models, Little Cookie’s Hong Kong old-town figurine photography, and On Tai Mini workshop’s nostalgic miniature scenes—each exhibit evoking heartfelt memories of Hong Kong’s golden era. Classic game stations featuring pinball machines and hopscotch, now seldom seen, brought laughter to both children and adults, while live renditions of timeless golden hits filled the air, uniting generations through shared musical memories.

‍

Beyond entertainment, the event embodied a strong sense of community care and wellness. The Greater Bay Area Medical Professional Development Association Team and the City University of Hong Kong Veterinary Team offered complimentary health assessments for both people and pets, reinforcing holistic well-being. Moreover, elderly participants from the SAGE Fong Shu Chuen Centre were specially invited to join the festivities, warmly embracing the joy of human–pet companionship amidst the welcoming ambience of retro culture. Bathed in nostalgia and community spirit, the event’s spacious and thoughtfully curated 80s and 90s-themed zone transported visitors back in time, allowing them to relive treasured memories in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

‍

Beyond cultural appreciation, the event also embodied a strong sense of community care and well-being. A joint initiative by the Greater Bay Area Medical Development Team and the City University of Hong Kong Veterinary Team provided free health assessments for both people and pets, underscoring the message of compassion and holistic wellness. Elderly members from the Hong Kong Society for the Aged (SAGE) Fong Shu Chuen Centre were also invited to join, enjoying a touching afternoon of intergenerational connection and companionship.
