Come join us at the Dulles Expo Center!

United Cat Club is proud to bring together cat lovers from all over the world under one roof with a wonderful variety of cat toy vendors and rescues with their potential adoption opportunities. 

Have you ever seen a Maine Coon, Bengal, or Ragdoll in person? Now's your chance to get up close and personal with over 50 breeds present. Each breed has a community made standard that international judges use to evaluate each entry. They are professionally trained to look for the overall health, condition, structure and temperament of the cat and award points to those that best meet the standard. 

Did you know you can enter your own cat too? That's right! The International Cat Association has a class for everyone! We proudly welcome both pedigree and non-pedigree cats to compete for the same awards and plus it's a ton of fun to meet new and old friends. United Cat Club is dedicated to continue following its mission of promoting the health and welfare of all cats. Please consider bringing a dry or canned food donation to support the wonderful feline rescues that will be present at the show.
