Cat lovers, welcome to Belgrade WCF cat show!
Many cities have cat cafes, but only Belgrade has a unique festival dedicated to cats and those who love them! On every Meow Fest there are many beautiful cats and lots of good vibes and creativity, as cats have always been companions of creative people – from artists to scientists, from Leonardo to Tesla!
During two days of the Belgrade Cat Festival best catteries will present their champions. Cats will compete for prestigious World Cat Federation awards, and visitors will have the opportunity to get information on exotic cat breeds. In the other hall, many lovely and healthy cats will be offered for adoption.
International WCF cat show at Meow Fest
The main event on Meow Fest is two days World Cat Federation Show. More than 100 cats will compete for Best in Show, Best of Best, Best General and Best Supreme titles and awards.
All popular cat breeds will be represented: Bengals, Birmans, British Shorthairs, Maine Coons, Persians, Russian Blues, Siberians, but also less commonly seen breeds: Abyssinians, Norwegian Forest cats, Orientals, Sphynx and others.
The most beutiful cats will be chosen by international team of judges.
Adoption of healthy and lovely cats
Many lovely and healthy cats will be offered for adoption. All cats were rescued from the streets. They were sheltered and nourished by a team of responsible and professional fosterers. They thoroughly prepared the cats for new homes – all cats passed a veterinary check, are well socialized and playful.
Meow Fest is a great opportunity to get high-quality food for your pet, and pick some delicious treats, baskets or toys with nice discount.
Cat lovers, welcome to Le PETit WCF Meow Fest! Come to meow with us and spend two days in good company – in the company of cats!
