It looks like these guys do mostly American-style porn; they're not primarily an anime distributor like most of the others. We may have to explain how convention licensing works.

cell +1.646-468-6176 (confirmed 2016-08-18)
Kitty Media previously had a dedicated site at kittymedia.com, but they lost their domain to a squatter in spring 2014. According to Media Blasters reps we met at Fanime Con 2015 they moved their email to the domain for Fever Dreams, their production arm for original works. We tried contacting John Sirabella at <jsirabellafever-dreams.com> in 2015 without success. We met a professional acquaintance of Mr. Sirabella's at Kraken Con Spring 2016 who gave us his current email address <jsirabellamedia-blasters.com>.
Some sites list +1.212-868-0991 or +1.917-351-2760 as their phone number, but as of 2016-07-12 both numbers result in a "the number you've dialed is not in service" message.
