Be sure to attend a cat show near you! What better way to see all of the breeds, talk to the breeders and exhibitors, decide which beed is just right for you, watch the judging, etc.
Generally, show hours are from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. and you can expect admission charges to be a nominal amount (usually in the $5 or $6 range for Adults). The admission price may be higher for some of the larger shows. If you require further information on any given show, please refer to our Exhibitor Show Schedule and contact the "Info" person listed.
Each show listing includes the date of the show, whether the show is licensed(L) or planned(P), State and City, Showhall/address, and
Sponsoring Club.
NOTE: Because of the current military activity, it is possible that a show scheduled to be held in an Armory may have been moved to another location at the last moment.

Look for the button! The members of CFA's Ambassador Program are available at shows to help you and answer your questions. If you see someone wearing a button, feel free to ask them any questions you may have about CFA, cat shows, judging, breeds of cats, etc.
- Print a Spectator Guide! Our spectator guide will help you to understand a cat show, explain the ribbons and the judging process, plus answer a few general questions. The PDF brochure is a bifold one that can be printed either back-to-back or as two separate pages. The files are approximately 1.5 megs each. Translated files are considerably smaller.
