A ‘Crufts for cats’ event is coming to Manchester next month

A huge ‘cat extravaganza’ event is coming to Manchester next month.

The Manchester Cat Extravaganza — a bit like Crufts for cats — will see ‘the most beautiful cats in the world’ strut their stuff on an actual catwalk, in May.

The two-dayer — which gets millions of views on TikTok — will see an international cat competition, an adoption event, a Best in Show, and a full shopping village to browse.

The event comes from Loving Cats Worldwide and will take over the Bowlers Exhibition Centre in Trafford park from 10am to 4pm on Saturday May 14th and Sunday 15th.

Loving Cats Worldwide have found huge success on TikTok, pulling in tens of millions of views on videos filmed at its events — meaning your kitty could go viral!

Visitors will be able to meet with local rescues and charities, with the chance to adopt a furry friend of their own, as well as hearing educational anecdotes about different cat breeds being judged in the shows.

A panel of international judges will stage, reward and present the pussy cats with prizes, with the felines competing to be crowned Best Kitten, Best Cat, Best Alter and Best Household Pet.

Cat lovers will enjoy plenty of opportunities to meet other little bundles of fur and introduce their own beloved cats to make some new friends.

Loving Cats Worldwide is says it’s made up of ‘a crazy bunch of cat-crazed individuals doing our part to increase the visibility of all cats’.

LCWW said: “We can’t wait to welcome you to a Cat Extravaganzas near you brought to you by world renowned cat judge Steven Meserve & Co.”

LCWW will work alongside amazing cat rescues and charities, who will be on site to answer questions about fostering and adopting a pet cat .
