Capital City Cats is also an adoption event and will feature local cat rescues like the Humane Society of Loudoun County and The Cats At Longstreet (TCAL) and their adoptable kitties. This family-friendly event will feature a dedicated education ring where a daily stuffed animal contest for the kids will take place each day around lunch time. The education ring will also feature educational programming where attendees can learn about cat shows and the different cat breeds, hear from rescues about fostering and adoption opportunities, and hear from vets about the latest in feline health. There will also be vendors present selling cat carriers and furniture, clothing, unique cat toys, and cat-themed merchandise you can’t find anywhere else.
