What happens when you combine the creativity and ingenuity of the North Atlantic Region and the cosmopolitan diversity of the European region? “Paws Across the Sea” – a virtual competition that brings both regions together for joint fundraising, shared prizes, and an online celebration of the beauty of both pedigreed cats and household pets!
“Paws Across the Sea” is reaching out its toe beans for your entries, Monday, October 12 through Monday, October 26th at 6 PM. We are offering eight judging rings with top 15 finals in all classes, plus a Best of the Best ring to determine the overall Best in Show. Entries are just $10 each but enter three cats and you can get a fourth entry for FREE! All breeds from all registries are welcome (Non-CFA breeds, please submit a copy of your breed’s standard to our entry clerk) and miscellaneous breeds compete in their age-appropriate classes. Of course, all entries qualify to enter the CFA International Top Cat Challenge.
While this show does not offer “fun” classes, EVERY cat is eligible to win the Spectator’s Choice award, as determined by online voting. Share your entry pictures with your friends via Facebook, Twitter or email and encourage them to vote for your kitty! Votes are $1 and you can purchase multiple votes for each at one time, but can only make one transaction per cat per day. Funds raised will go to support both regions.
