I accidentally posted this question in the wrong section. I have never attended a cat show. I have been looking for something in my area. Are the shows that Steven Meserve attends, respectable cat shows? Do any reputable breeders attend these events? I'm not sure if these are CFA or TICA shows...

Not being familiar with cat shows, can somebody tell me if the shows with Steve Meserve are real cat shows? Are they well attended by breeders? I'm asking because there is one coming up in my area but I didn't know if I should buy tickets.

I do not run a rescue. However, I do try to help on my own. LOTS of people, as I'm sure you know, are constantly posting stories on different forums and apps about cats that they've found or seen or have been feeding. Most of these people ask for "help" but, in reality, want someone else to do...

Yes, please. I don't know much about cat shows at all.

Not to sound ignorant but I didn't realize that there were cat shows. I'm familiar with dog shows.

I was thinking about a Himalayan/Persian or Siberian.

I have gone back and forth with this and it was my intention to never get a purebred cat BUT my experiences over the past few months with trying to find a cat from a rescue or shelter have been frustrating, to say the least. I am now, strongly considering getting a purebred cat. I was wondering...

This whole cat search has been very depressing. I have seen a lot of cats but, in the environments that I've seen them, I am not making any connections. Being in a room at Petsmart doesn't seem to be conducive to finding the right cat nor does being in a room at the shelter. The cats in those...

As far as males and females, I've had the opposite experience. My females have been very affectionate and the males just want to eat all day long.

I posted before because I already have cats but my oldest and favorite cat passed away over the summer. I realize that no other cat can replace her. However, due to the fact that my other cats were semi-feral, I would really like to have a normal cat again. I looked at adults at the shelter but...

I've never raised a "normal" kitten. My experiences have been with feral/semi feral. However, the female who passed was an adult when I got her. She was coming to my house and wanted to be my cat, for some reason.

Even with the cats in the "interaction" room, it's difficult because they just want to run around. I can understand that, after being in cages all day, everyday. The other issue is that I just feel so sorry for all of them, that I just want to save one of them from being euthanized, just because...

I've been considering starting a rescue for a while. I know that there is a LOT of work involved. Is it possible to be a rescue that focuses on getting animals out of shelters, rather than, or, in addition to, assisting strays?

My previous attempts at flipping ferals was not very successful. However, at the time that I attempted to do it, I really did not have enough knowledge to do it properly. I recently helped someone trap 4 ferals-3 older kittens and an adult. Due to the conditions, where they were living, I hate...

I was originally thinking about getting a purebred cat. I've never owned a purebred cat. However, there are so many cats in need of homes, I decided against it. I was looking at cats from rescues and I also visited a shelter. The local shelter is not no-kill. I know that "no kill" does not...

I wasn't sure where to post this but I am researching a few cat breeds. I have owned cats but never purebred. I had an amazing domestic shorthair and after having her, there are some traits that I would like to find in cat, which is why I am considering purebred. I was looking at Ragdolls, Maine...

I realize this is an old post but my cat is about 12 and has been diagnosed with nasal carcinoma. I joined the forum to read about others' experiences. I'm devastated. I am going for a radiation consult. Is it possible to pm you, since you have firsthand experience with this particular type of...
