More than 200 cats from the U.S. and Canada will compete at the Saintly City Cat Club’s championship show next month.
The 48th Annual Championship and Household Pet Cat Show will be held Jan. 25-26 at the St. Paul RiverCentre complex in the lower level of the Roy Wilkins Exhibition Hall.
More than 25 different breeds of cats will compete in four categories: kittens, championship, premiership (neutered and spayed) and household pets. Popular breeds such as Persians, Birman and Main Coons will compete along with Bangels, Cornish Rex and Sphinx.
A “King” and “Queen” cat will be chosen from the competitors in the household division and “caped and crowned” Sunday by a member of the St. Paul Winter Carnival royalty.
Each feline finalist will receive a rosette and earn points from the Cat Fanciers’ Association (CFA), the largest cat registry in the world. Points are tallied for the title of Grand Champion and Grand Premier along with regional and national awards.
The show is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 25, and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 26. Admission is $10 for adults and $7 for children under 10 and senior citizens over 65.
The Saintly City Cat Club, established in 1974, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting the health and welfare of all felines, and to the education of the public on felines. It’s a member club of the CFA.
People interested in entering their cat into the show can contact Susan Kline at 801-645-4730 or Linda Mae Baker at 651-455-8043, or go to the saintlycitycatclub.org for additional information.
