We love all Cats but an event such as this is not a suitable environment to allow visitors to bring their Cats. But when you get home they will be so happy to see you, as you’ll be loaded with treats and toys for them. You’ll also know so much more about them thanks to all the expert talks and presentations! For more information regarding this policy, please click here.

Please note: It’s a fact that most cats don’t like being in big noisy places for long. Those that do are a rare breed! That said, you will find a healthy cast of beautiful cats at the Show, just not hundreds and hundreds (unlike our Dog Lovers Show)! We always put cat welfare first so your understanding here is much appreciated, as is your assistance in taking direction from the cat handlers at the Show. Thanks in advance and we can’t wait to welcome you to the Show!
