2025 CCCA National Show
It was Sydney’s turn to host the Coordinating Cat Council of Australia national show. Founding ACA member, NSW Cat Fanciers Association Inc, had the honour in 2025.
From pedigree purebred Burmese to Persians, Bengals to Ragdolls, British Shorthair to Siberians, Oriental to Abysinnian, Birmans to Sphynx & everything in between.
400 of the best groomed cats purred their way into Wentworth Park in July for the 2025 National Cat Show to vie for the title of Supreme Pedigree Exhibit in Show and Supreme Companion Exhibit on Show.
Accompanied by their owners, these cats are all well versed in the world of cat shows & compete in their own local cat club competitions in the home states.
Judges from around the world were invited to officiate & judge – from South Africa, America, Hong Kong, Poland and New Zealand accompanied Australian judges from NSW, Queensland & Victoria.
Whilst cat shows are primarily for pedigree, purebred cats, there is a class called Companions which is for cats that do not have a pedigree or not born from purebred parents in a specialised breeding program. Cats that compete in the Companion class have 2 main criteria for judging – presentation & temperament.
Cat shows are a great opportunity to promote responsible pet ownership and to allow breeders build relationships with each other to work together to ensure genetic diversity in their breeding programs.
