The Houston Cat Club’s
60th Annual Charity Cat Show
10 a.m. - 5 p.m. Saturday, January 5,2013
9 a.m. - 4 p.m. Sunday, January 6, 2013
George R. Brown Convention Center, Hall A
Come join in the fun at the purrfect
family event for feline lovers. The
60th Annual Houston Charity Cat
show will be held January 5-6, 2013,
in Hall A at the George R. Brown
Convention Center. It’s a Feline
Extravaganza of cats, both pedigreed
and non-pedigreed, sponsored by
Gulf Coast Veterinary Specialists.
The Houston Cat Club is an all
volunteer club that has been
supporting local animal welfare
organizations for 60 years. From the
previous 59 shows they have donated
over $860,000 to local organizations
like the Houston SPCA, the Houston
Humane Society, Citizens for Animal
Protection, Homeless Pet Placement
League, and HOPE. Additionally
they support feline medical research
through the Winn Foundation.
Pedigreed and non-pedigreed cats
will be judged on beauty and
personality by judges from the Cat
Fanciers’ Association. The non-
pedigreed cats, also known as
Household Pets, also participate in
cage decorating contests, trick
contests and costume contests.
The most exciting event is found at
the Feline Agility ring where all cats
entered in the show can compete for
timed runs through the agility course.
Cats are definitely trainable and most
are willing to follow a feather or
dangling toy anywhere! It can also be
pretty funny to watch! Some cats take
to the course like a duck to water, and
have it down pat when it comes to
running through tunnels and jumping
through hoops. Others, though, seem
to be more curious about the course,
and will thoroughly inspect each
obstacle before even thinking about
tackling it. And then there are those
competing cats who think the idea is
to put their owners through the course
paces, and give the humans a really
good work-out while trying to coax
them out of a tunnel or over a jump.
The Houston Charity Cat Show is
one of the largest in the United States.
Hundreds of beautiful cats compete
each year for awards that go to
regional and national wins for the
show season. Spectators enjoy
watching the judges handle and talk
about each cat. The children’s
education area has all kinds of fun
coloring books to teach them about
the different breeds.
