🐈 𝙒𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙗𝙚 𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙤𝙪𝙘𝙝 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙥𝙚𝙩? Some of the cats in the show may be petted. Always ask permission first, and always sanitize between cats. There may even be some cats that will be "Pet Me Cats" and these cats just love to be petted so be sure to look for them!
🐾 𝘼𝙧𝙚 𝙬𝙚 𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝙘𝙖𝙩 𝙤𝙧 𝙙𝙤𝙜 (𝙤𝙣 𝙖 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙝, 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙧 𝙤𝙧 𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙧)? No, only cats pre-registered may enter the show. There are rules our association has requiring specific vaccinations, health checks, etc. that cannot be investigated or enforced on spectators’ cats. It is as much for the safety of your cat as well as those cats competing.
⌚ 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩’𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙫𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙬? Judging is a continuous format all day. All judges see all of the cats entered. Each judge hosts their own mini-show. There is no overall best of the best.
❤️ 𝙒𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙗𝙚 𝙖 𝙘𝙖𝙩 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙘𝙪𝙚 𝙖𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙬? The Way Station Cat & Kitten Rescue will be on-site meeting people with adoptable cats!

📷 𝘾𝙖𝙣 𝙄 𝙩𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙥𝙞𝙘𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙨? Photography is permitted but please ask permission first if using a flash or if your camera makes noise when taking a picture. It may scare some cats.
🐱‍👤 𝙒𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙗𝙚 𝙘𝙖𝙩 𝙨𝙪𝙥𝙥𝙡𝙮 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙘𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙤𝙮 𝙫𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙤𝙧𝙨 𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙬? We will have several cat item vendors.
😽 𝙒𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙗𝙚 𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙨 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙨𝙖𝙡𝙚? Some exhibitors will have kittens or adults for sale. Sometimes these cats will have come to the show, but others may be waiting at home to find their perfect home. Look for signs that read Cats or Kittens for sale. Please note that all kittens (except rescue kitties) must be 4 months old to be in the show hall.
🍴 𝙒𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙗𝙚 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙖𝙫𝙖𝙞𝙡𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚? Great people food is provided by Chianti's Italian Restaurant. They have salads, pasta dishes, plus breakfast, too! https://www.chiantispizza.com/
⌛ 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙄 𝙜𝙤 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙬? We recommend planning to arrive at least two hours before the end of the show so you can have time to see everything.
😸 𝘼𝙣𝙮𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙚𝙡𝙨𝙚? Have fun! If you have questions, please ask the exhibitors. Some judges will explain what they're looking for throughout their process. There are several of them all judging at once, so find one that you enjoy best from a cat handling or speaking perspective and have a seat.
