Get your discount to this weekend's cat-stravaganza.
See pretty kitties vie to be top cat (it's kinda like Project Runway with claws) – and help a good cause, too.
Cats Exclusive, a Margate nonprofit that runs a no-kill shelter and a low-cost spay/neuter and medical clinic, is hosting a feline extravaganza all day Saturday and Sunday at War Memorial Auditorium, 800 NE 8th St. in Fort Lauderdale’s Holiday Park.
There will be a Cat Fanciers Association (CFA) championship competition, as well as a display of endangered wildlife. You can shop at the booths of 30 cat-themed boutiques.
And if you don’t have a cat, no problem! Cats Exclusive will have adoptable cats and kittens there both days.
Admission is $7 for adults, $5 for seniors and children age 6 to 12, with children under 6 free. But go here to the Cats Exclusive site, which has more details and exact show hours, and get a coupon for $2 off admission.
All proceeds go to Cats Exclusive, which provides low-cost medical services and vaccines for all cat owners.
Oh, and since its Halloween -- costumes encouraged for cats and their peeps.
