The Education Ring will feature beautiful pedigreed breeds, household pets, and shelter/rescue cats. The program runs from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

Pedigree kittens for sale. Many kittens will be physically there and ready to go to a new home. But if your desired breed does not have any kittens for sale, many breeders will be there to discuss their future litters.

Rescue cat adoptions – Each year, several local rescue/shelter organizations have booths at the show to place rescue cats for adoption. Last year, 30 rescues found forever homes, and many more were placed after the show. Some of the cats are even shown in the Household Pet Competition, which helps showcase these wonderful cats.
