Daytona Cat Show & Adoption Event

Tickets are $15.00 for adults, $10.00 for seniors (60+), active military and first responders, $10.00 for children (5-12), $45.00 for a family of four.  Children 4 and under have free entry. Parking is $10.00 for the day.  Please bring cash, credit card or debit card for admission and be aware that some vendors do not accept credit cards. 

Tickets can be purchased at the door or online.  There is a link on this website where you can buy tickets in advance for the show, so you can skip the line!

There will be Ambassador Cats to meet and pet.  These are "Pet Me Cats" and they just love to be petted, so be sure to look for them. Some of the cats being shows may be petted, but ALWAYS ask for permission first, and always sanitize between cats 

NO.  Only pre-registered pets may enter the show. There are rules our association has requiring specific vaccinations, health checks, etc. that cannot be investigated or enforced onto spectators’ cats. It is as much for the safety of your cat as well as those cats competing. 

We recommend planning to arrive at least two hours prior to the end of the show so you can have time to see everything.  Judging is a continuous format all day. All judges see all of the cats entered. Each judge hosts their own mini show.  Feline Agility takes place all day.

Unlike dog shows, each breed is shown in 3 classes, kittens, championship, and premiership at different times.  There is also a household pet class for non-pedigreed cats.  All the cats and kittens entered in competition will be there all day, each day.  So there will be lots to see when you come enjoy the show. 

Photography is permitted but please ask permission first if using a flash or if your camera makes noise when taking a picture. It may scare some cats. 

Some exhibitors will have kittens or adults for sale. Sometimes these cats will have come to the show, but others may be waiting at home to find their perfect home. Look for signs that read "Cats or Kittens for Sale". Please note that all kittens (except rescue kitties) must be 4 months old to be in the show hall. 

People food will be available! A tasty food concession is on location.

Have fun! If you have questions, please ask the exhibitors. Some judges will explain what they're looking for throughout their process. There are several of them all judging at once, so find one that you enjoy best from a handling or speaking perspective and have a seat.
