What does 譲渡会 mean in this sentence?

譲渡会 literally means something like transfer/adoption event.

In everyday Japanese, especially with animals, it usually refers to an adoption event where rescued cats or dogs are introduced to possible adopters. So in this sentence, it most likely means a pet adoption event.

• 譲渡 = transfer, handing over, adoption
• 会 = meeting, event, gathering

So this is not just any “meeting”; it is a specific kind of event for adoption.

Why is the particle に used after 譲渡会?

Because 参加する normally takes に to mark what you participate in.

So:

• 譲渡会に参加する = to participate in / attend an adoption event

This is just the standard pattern:

• イベントに参加する = participate in an event
• 大会に参加する = participate in a tournament
• 会議に参加する = participate in a meeting

For English speakers, this can feel a little odd because English often uses in or no preposition at all, but in Japanese 参加する strongly prefers に.
