Come see 225 purebred and household pet cats compete for top cat in several different judging rings throughout each day. Meet Maine Coon Cats, Devon Rex, Norwegian Forest Cats, Persians, Siamese, Ragdolls, Bengals, and up to 30 other breeds!
Unlike dog shows, each breed is shown in 3 classes, kittens, championship, and premiership at different times. All the cats and kittens are required to be there all day, each day. Lots to see!
The costume contest is on at lunchtime, not to be missed.
You can sit and watch cats on the judging table, or walk around and visit with the cats between judging. No matter what time you arrive you’re bound to see your favorite breed being judged!
