A big part of the show is about raising awareness for cat rescue and the PETstock Adoption Zone is a unique opportunity to learn all about Cat adoption with experts on hand and dozens of rescue groups and shelters exhibiting. Discover whether Cat adoption is right for you, what’s involved, how to find a suitable Cat and tips for starting the process. Expanding on 2019, there will be over 30 rescue groups taking part with many bringing in Cats that are available for adoption now.

Featuring many activities for the whole family, kids can get their face painted for free at the Kitty Face Painting before snapping some memories at the Glitter Selfie Wall. Adults aren’t left out either – after being treated to a glass of bubbly you can get your nails done by Clara H Nails, a technician that will keep you feline fine.

Of course, there will also be a large number of exhibitors showcasing products and toys especially suited to your furry friend.

“Anyone with a deep love for cats or seeking a better understanding of these curious and enigmatic creatures can celebrate their shared passion at Australia’s largest feline-focused festival, right in the heart of Melbourne,” says Jason Humphris, the Show Founder and CEO. “The timing is ideal to provide the surging number of ‘cat parents’ with trusted, reliable information from the country’s very best feline experts. We are indebted to the loyal exhibitors and the cat loving community who are excited to be returning to our live event with pre-sale tickets selling out in record time!”
