Welome to our Show!

The Chickadee Cat Club is proud to present the 2nd ACFA Championship & Household Pet Cat Show. Open to both purebred cats and household pets, including alters, this six ring event is the only one of its kind in New Brunswick. This year we welcome six judges, hailing from Kentucky, Iowa, Florida, Missouri, British Columbia, and Nova Scotia. In keeping with its theme of “Cats Helping Cats”, this year's Benefit Organization is the Kindness Club, which will receive a portion of the gate proceeds.

Last year’s event drew approximately 2500 spectators and nearly 100 cats from New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, P.E.I., and as far away as Ontario and Maine. Over 30 booths showcased local cat/animal welfare organizations (e.g. S.P.C.A.’s, Kindness Club, Ca-R-Ma) as well as many cat-themed vendors. A very successful raffle and silent auction, family entertainment, such as The Cat in the Hat, face painting, and a display of artwork by local children were also highlights. We are anticipating an even bigger and better show this year.

Besides being an opportunity for cat-lovers to gather together and show off their pets, this event is a chance to learn about cats and responsible pet ownership. In particular, breeders in the region are working hard to raise public awareness of acceptable breeding practices, in hopes of reducing both “kitten mills” and the number of unwanted pets. Come meet with registered, responsible breeders, who can help you choose your perfect pet, or adopt one of the wonderful pets available from local animal shelters. Many of the cats exhibited in the household pet division (including last year's winner) were originally rescued from shelters. With love and care they have become prized - and prize-winning - family members.

How to use the blog...

For those of you new to "blogging", a blog is a bit different from a traditional web site. Each time a new post is listed, it will appear at the top of the page. To view older posts, you will need to keep scrolling down. The seven most recent posts are displayed. If you need one older than that, just scroll to the Blog Archive list at the bottom of the right hand column. It contains links to all previous blog listings. Clicking on a month will bring up all the postings.

Coming soon...the handy-dandy checklist

We realize that it can seem like there is a lot you need to do and know when exibiting your cat, especially the first time out. We want you to know that it isn't actually that bad, and will soon be posting a checklist of things you need to do before show day. To get you started though, check out the documents listed on the right, which you will need to take care of before the entry deadline of May 25 (or May 4 if you're an early bird).

1) Read the Show Flyer. It has a lot of helpful information about the show itself, including a few rules and regulations.
2) ACFA Entry Form. You need to fill out one of these forms for EACH cat that you enter.
3) Chickadee Cat Club Entry Summary Form - You need to fill out just ONE copy of this form, no matter how many cats you enter. Submit this form and the ACFA Entry Form(s) to Bev Amos, with the entry fee, by the entry deadline.

Updated Show Poster and Coupons

Time is ticking away and we have just under two months left before the show! Right now we hope everyone is thinking about getting their kitty registered for the show. The early bird deadline to register is less than 1 month away (May 4).

Closer to the show, we hope that anyone who can will take a moment and put up a few posters in their local area. Since many people will only have access to 8.5 x 11 paper, Sherry has made up a slightly smaller version of the spectator poster for people to use.

As an added incentive to get spectators out to the show, please also feel free to print off the following dollar-off coupons, and distribute them to friends and family (and total strangers, for that matter!). If you are talking to people about the show, the coupons are a great way to provide them with a little "written record" of the show information.
