The Breed Showcase will bring together rare and well-known cat breeds, giving visitors the chance to meet them up close and learn more about their unique characteristics.

As one of the largest gatherings of cats in Australia, the Breed Showcase will offer a paw-some opportunity to interact with a wide variety of breeds. The country’s leading cat associations and expert breeders will be on hand to answer all your questions about cat behaviour, training, health, and personality traits—from playful kittens to majestic adult cats.

Visitors will be able to gather trusted, reliable information on dozens of breeds, with representatives from Australian National Cats (ANCATS) all under one roof!

Whether you’re looking for the perfect feline companion or simply want to admire these incredible breeds, the Breed Showcase will help you discover which cat best suits your lifestyle. Plus, visitors can head to Pat-A-Cat  for an even closer encounter with some beautiful, affectionate felines.

The 2026 line-up will be announced closer to the Festival. Click here to subscribe to our eNewsletter and be the first to find out
