Whether you’ve had cat companions all your life, or you’re looking to adopt a kitty for the first time, you’ll have a purr-fect time at the Cat Lovers Festival. Finally back in town after their sold-out event in 2022, this festival will take place alongside the Dog Lovers Festival at Melbourne Showgrounds. Cuddle up with cats, learn more about them, find presents to spoil them and more. This festival will take place on Saturday October 26 and Sunday October 27, from 9:30am to 5pm.
Cat Lovers Festival
See over 200 cats in one easy place at this delightful event. Don’t miss the Pat-A-Cat Zone, and get up close with plenty of rare and popular cat breeds. There’s also the WHISKAS Kitty Corner, which features cats and kittens for you to engage with in large enclosures. Experts will be there, ready to answer all your burning cat questions. Then, see over 30 different cat breeds at the Breed Showcase. Chat with the experts to learn more about personality traits, the behaviour of the breed and more crucial information.
Head to the Adoption Zone to chat with rescue groups and meet cats that are available for adoption. Learn more about cats by listening to educational talks. Then, see some truly fabulous felines compete for cash prizes and adoration at the Championship Cat Show.
Go shopping for cat treats, food, toys, enclosures, towers, accessories, beds and more.
The kids will have fun with face painting, and there’s also food trucks, cafes, and a prosecco bar for the grown-ups.
If you love dogs, you’ll also receive free entry to the Dog Lovers Festival next door. Find out more about the Cat Lovers Festival here.
