With 100+ Cats and Kittens joining our show each year, you will love walking through the benching area filled with these show cats and their families excited to share all about their beloved kitties with you.

Calgary is home to many wonderful rescues. This year, we are delighted MEOW Foundation and Cats Home Foundation and Boomer’s Haven - Animal Rescue & Sanctuary are joining us. We cover the entry fees for Rescue Kitties because rescue kitties can be show cats too! Come learn about the work rescues do from their Volunteers and who knows!? Maybe you will meet the cat or kitten who will join your family!

We always have a variety of fabulous VENDORS with all 24 spots filled again this year plus 3 generous Corporate Sponsors right next to Judging Ring 1 giving you the purr-fect opportunity to shop for the kitty in your life and for yourself, too! Please bring cash for those select Vendors unable to accept card or virtual payments. Although this is a wonderful place to pick up gifts and supplies for your kitty, please leave any pets at home as we are only able to allow entry to cats registered for the show.

We are an organization run by Volunteers passionate about cats, and we invite you to join us! We are in need of VOLUNTEERS & SPONSORS for a variety of roles listed on our website http://www.calgarycatshow.com/who-sparticipating/ in order to make this event a success. Join us Sunday 19 April at 4PM to help pack up the show hall in Ed Whalen Arena! We deeply appreciate your decision to join us, whether as a Spectator taking it all in, a Volunteer helping things run smoothly, and/or as a Sponsor donating of your resources. THANK YOU!
