On Aug. 23 at 7:30 p.m., she hosts the fifth annual Cat’s Meow Concert featuring the Musicians of the World Symphony Orchestra (MWSO) and benefiting the Trap Neuter Release/Adopt Program of the Cote Saint-Luc Cats Committee, a cause close to her heart.

For the concert, the Syd Wise Auditorium at 5785 Parkhaven St. will fill with lovers of cats and music. …
