Cleveland: The New Cat Capital of the Midwest

Cleveland, known for its rock and roll legacy, is claiming a quirky new title: the cat capital of the Midwest. Each fall, the city transforms as thousands of cat lovers descend upon the I-X Center for the CFA International Cat Show & Expo. This year's event, taking place in October, promises to showcase not just the feline stars of the show, but the vibrant community that rallies around them.

A Celebration of Cats and Community

The CFA International Cat Show isn’t merely an event; it's a celebration of the unbreakable bond between cats and their enthusiasts. Over the years, Cleveland has embraced these furry friends, turning the city into a haven for both cats and their admirers. This year's lineup features extraordinary events, star cats, and exciting activities that unite the cat-loving community. From rescuing abandoned kitties to celebrating the beauty of purebreds, the expo creates a unique environment for everyone involved.

Bringing Cats and People Together

One of the highlights of the expo is the collaboration among various rescue organizations from around Cleveland. Rather than competing, they unite under one roof to draw attention to cat adoption and welfare. Visitors will have the chance to meet over 100 adoptable cats and kittens, many of whom are ready to transition from rescue crates to loving forever homes. This heartwarming aspect of the event emphasizes Cleveland’s commitment to improving the lives of animals, making it a perfect sanctuary for feline aficionados.

The Grand Stage for Feline Stars

The CFA International Cat Show features more than 40 breeds — each vying for recognition and accolades on the Grand Stage. From the majestic Maine Coons to the quirky Sphynx, the event attracts top breeders and experts from around the globe, ensuring that the crème de la crème of the feline world is on display. The I-X Center has become the must-visit venue for showcasing these pets, making it a hub for the cat community.
