Events: Arizona - Phoenix - Scottsdale

The 29th Annual Cat Fanciers Association all breed cat show, “It’s Feline A Lot Like Christmas,” hosted by Phoenix Feline Fanciers, a club of The Cat Fanciers’ Assoc. Inc.

It’s Arizona's largest all breed cat show with over 40 distinct breeds of cats, from the lean and swanky Siamese, the charmingly "naked" Sphynx, the intoxicating Abyssinian, the gentle and giant Maine Coons, and the extravagantly groomed Persians -- over 300 fancy felines in all! Cats from across the U.S. compete in eight judging rings over two days for Best in Show. There will be special activities involving Household Pets and recognition for the top Household Pet in Show. See these unique animals and hear the stories of their rescue by their owners.

An extremely popular event with fun for the entire family. The show features beautiful and competitive felines, both pedigreed and household pets. A "supermarket" of cat supplies and gifts will be available from a myriad of vendors -- from unique clothing, artifacts, jewelry, specialty foods and toys as well as top-of-the-line cat furniture. There will be an exciting raffle and our annual book sale. A kitty costume contest and "best decorated holiday cage" contest! Mesa Convention Center has people food and drink on site and free parking for our visitors.
