CFA News The CFA International Cat Show is Coming to Atlanta! The show, to be held at the Georgia International Convention Center, will feature over 700 pedigreed cats competing for the title of “Best in Show”. Visitors to the show will be met by members of CFA’s Ambassador Program, who will offer details about the show, hand out show guides, answer any and all questions, plus conduct guided tours of the show hall at scheduled times. CFA’s feline ambassadors will be happy to make the dream of touching a wavy-coated Cornish Rex, or the suede-soft body of a Sphynx, a reality. Cats from a number of breeds will be gracing their breed booth displays, and will be ready, willing and able to take all the petting and loving the public chooses to shower on them.
