Organised by the Monegasque non-profit De Gati De Mùnegu, the event draws a number of judges from different countries, who will select the finest cats. Of the seven judges, three are French, one Swiss, one Polish, one American and one Dutch.

For this year’s show, more than 180 breeders have made the trip and over 165 cats are expected. It’s an ideal opportunity to discover a wide variety of pedigree cats, including the Maine Coon, Persian, Exotic Shorthair, Abyssinian, Somali, Pixie Bob, Oriental, Ragdoll, Siberian, Birman, Turkish Angora, Bengal, Burmese, Chartreux, Siamese, Khao Manee, Egyptian Mau and many more.

The Town Hall, the National Council and la Fédération Féline de Monaco will be awarding prizes for their ‘coups de coeur’ (favourites), and stands representing different cat-related aspects (boarding, animal photographer, etc.) will also be featured at the exhibition.
