Katikati cat show
Thank you, Katikati, for your wonderful show venue, the Memorial Hall. We love the support that the local community give us on show day, and this year was no exception.
The Patches & Pointed Cat Club dedicated this show to a local group of volunteers who work tirelessly in the Katikati Rescue Cats. They rely on community support to continue providing rescue services to cats and kittens that are “dumped,” left behind when people move on, cats that are not desexed, and kittens that are simply thrown away or ill-treated.
These cats and kittens can all end up being new members of the feral cat population.
Because of the wonderful sponsorship we receive every year, we were able to extend a helping hand to the rescue group by providing over 60kg of cat food (Proplan—Purina) and kitten milk powder (Tu Meke Friend), which our exhibitors re-donated, along with a small but very welcomed cash donation of $400.
We had exhibitors from all over the country, and the standard of competition amongst predominantly kittens was amazing. We also had a very good section of “L-plate” exhibitors and cats, meaning that the cat or owner had not shown before.
It was delightful to see one of our Lplate entries take out the ‘Lord n Lady Katikati Sash’. This was such a lovely moment presenting the sash and lovely prizes to a family that has provided a wonderful home for PuddingPaws.
Please consider a donation to Katikati Rescue Cats—this is an important local group. You can also follow them on their Facebook page.
