FCCV Summer Cat Show 2026
Limited Ticket Spectator Experience: Watch a Real Cat Show in Action
Ever wondered what really happens at a cat show?
This is your chance to experience it! respectfully, quietly, and up close.
The Summer Show 2026 is a special spectator-only event, designed for cat lovers who want to learn, observe, and immerse themselves in the world of pedigree and companion cat showing.
Unlike busy public pet events, this is a quiet, educational atmosphere where guests can:
Watch judges assess cats in real time
Listen as they explain their decisions
Learn what makes a show-quality cat
Observe how a professional cat show runs
This is a respectful environment for both judges and exhibitors, so guests are asked to remain quiet during judging.
WHAT MAKES THIS SHOW SPECIAL
This months event includes an exciting feature:
A dedicated 4th Kitten Ring
Watch more than 30 kittens compete head-to-head across both longhair and shorthair breeds to see who will be ranked the very best.
It’s a rare opportunity to see so many promising young show cats in one place.

• View a wide variety of pedigree breeds
