A Feline Festival Like No Other
Imagine a weekend where cats reign supreme—championship judging, agility competitions, and more cat content than you can shake a feather toy at. Whether you live in Del Mar, Cardiff, Solana Beach, Encinitas, Leucadia, Carlsbad, Oceanside, Vista, or San Marcos, this event is just a short drive away and incredibly fun for the whole family.
The San Diego Cat Show brings together cat lovers from across Southern California for a celebration that’s part sporting event, part education expo, and entirely dedicated to our feline friends.
What Makes This Show So Special?
Here’s what you can expect when you visit the Del Mar Fairgrounds this weekend:
Championship Cat Judging – Watch as beautiful cats from various breeds strut their stuff and compete for top honors. It’s fascinating to see the judges evaluate everything from coat quality to purrsonality, and you’ll gain a whole new appreciation for what makes each breed special.
Feline Agility Competitions – Yes, cats can do agility! Watch these athletic felines navigate obstacle courses with grace, speed, and just the right amount of cattitude.
Rescue Row – Looking to add a furry family member to your home? Meet adoptable cats who are searching for their furever homes. It’s a wonderful opportunity to find your purrfect match while supporting local rescue organizations.
Vendor Marketplace – Stock up on premium toys, treats, and cat-themed treasures. From interactive puzzles to gourmet catnip, you’ll find everything to keep your kitty living their best nine lives.
Educational Opportunities – Learn from experts about cat behavior, health, nutrition, and care. Whether you’re a seasoned cat parent or new to the feline world, there’s always something new to discover.

Come Meet the Slinky Cat Team!
We’re thrilled to announce that Slinky Cat at Home will have a table at the show all weekend long! As North County’s premier professional cat sitting service, we’re excited to connect with fellow cat lovers throughout Del Mar, Encinitas, Carlsbad, Oceanside, and all our neighboring communities.
Current clients – We’d absolutely love if you stopped by to say hello! Fair warning: we might recognize your cat’s name faster than your face. 😸 When you’re jet-setting to exotic locations while we’re caring for Mr. Whiskers or Princess Fluffybottoms, we tend to remember the kitties first. It’s nothing personal—just proof that your cats have made a lasting impression on us!
Future clients – Curious about our White Paw sitting service? Come chat with us about how we provide professional, personalized in-home cat care throughout North County Coastal San Diego. We serve Cardiff, Oceanside, San Marcos, and everywhere in between.
Stop by the Slinky Cat table to enter for prizes, share your favorite stories about your kitties, and learn more about why professional cat sitting keeps your feline friends happy and stress-free in their own territory.
Why We Love Events Like This
As professional cat sitters serving the North County Coastal community, we believe that celebrating cats and educating ourselves about their unique needs makes us all better cat parents. Events like the San Diego Cat Show at the Del Mar Fairgrounds bring together the best of the feline world—from purebred champions to rescue cats seeking homes, from agility stars to cuddly lap cats.
Whether you’re from coastal Encinitas, inland Carlsbad, or anywhere in our beautiful North County service area, this weekend is the perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in cat culture and meet other people who understand why we organize our lives around feeding schedules and lap availability.
