Calling All Inland Empire Cat Lovers

July 31, 2009

There will be a cat show At the Perris Lake Fairgrounds on Saturday from 9 1.m. to 5 p.m. The San Diego Cat Fanciers are bringing this event to the Inland Empire. It will raise money for local and national animal charities. Proceeds from the show go to local shelters as well as the national Winn Feline Foundation which supports research on cat health. If you just love cats or want to learn more about cats, this is an event you will not want to miss. The show's manager, Karen Wilkins, says that there will be between 125 and 150 cats from 30 breeds. The cats will be divided into champion, premier and kitten categories and evaluated by seven judges. One member of the San Diego Cat Fanciers will be showing a few of her Selkirk Rex, a breed of cat with very curly hair that originated in Montana in 1987.

Admission is $7 for adults, $5 for children, seniors and military personnel and free for children under 6 years of age when accompanied by an adult. For more info go to http://www.sandiegocat.org/.
