About this event
The Hiss-terical Haunting is a Halloween-season cat show in the Exhibit Building at the Boulder County Fairgrounds in Longmont. Garden of the Cats, a nonprofit animal-welfare group, puts it on as a TICA-sponsored show with pedigreed cats and household pets. Vendors, information booths and trick-or-treating for kids are part of the day.
Who's playing
Garden of the Cats is the organizer. It is a nonprofit animal-welfare group that works in Southern Colorado, and it gives part of the proceeds to local shelters and rescues. The judging follows The International Cat Association (TICA) rules. Its materials list 14 judges working 14 rings.
What to expect
A TICA-sponsored show with pedigreed cats, including unusual and exotic breeds, alongside a household pet division. Visitors can talk with cat experts, browse vendors and information booths, and find food on site. Interactive contests and a raffle are planned. Kids can trick-or-treat on Halloween. A heart-health (HCM) screening clinic is scheduled for the second day of the weekend.
Why go
Cat shows are rare in Boulder County, and this one runs in a big fairgrounds hall with many breeds in one place. It suits cat lovers, families with kids in costume, and anyone thinking about a particular breed. Part of the proceeds go to animal rescue.
