"Boots" is a large Maine C**n pedigree cat that doesn’t mind being carted around the country, competing against others in cat shows.

Examples of some of the beautiful cats you might see at the CFA cat show on Feb 15-16 in Spartanburg, co-produced by Carolina Sophisticats and the National Alliance of Burmese Breeders. Show hours are 10am-4pm, at the Piedmont Event Center, 575 Fairgrounds Rd. Admission is $6 for adults, $5 for kids/seniors. Great vendors with cat-related merchandise! Smoke & Sweets food truck!

We are thrilled to see how much interest we have in the upcoming show! And it is great to see everyone's kitties posted! Just a reminder that you cannot bring cats into the show hall who are not entered in the show.

To all of the friends of the Carolina Sophisitcats,

We have had some inquiries asking about our annual CFA cat show on the second weekend of February, and we are sorry to share that we will not be holding our traditional CFA cat show in 2015. At this time, we are looking forward to 2016 for our next show.

Thank you so much to those of you who have contacted us, and to those of you who have given us SO much support to our club and our show since its debut in 1988! We thank you and we appreciate you so much more than you will ever know!

On behalf of the Carolina Sophisticats,

The Carolina Sophisticats thanks Princeton's Meow for these wonderful pictures of the HHP judging, for working the "gate" for our show, and for your dedication to feline rescue, fostering and adoption. You and your foster families are just totally awesome!

We showed for cats in the 2014 Carolina Sophisticats "Hearts A'Fire". Our kitties did wonderfully and we thanks the show management for inviting us once again to show and work the gate. We very much enjoy our relationship with this wonderful club.
