INTERNATIONAL SUMMER CAT SHOW 2026

Cat Club GDAŃSKIE LWY [„The Lions of Gdańsk”] invites you to the Summer Cat Show, which is held under the slogan: ZEN HARMONY – A Tribute to Oriental Cats and Tradition, referring to the Far East and oriental cats of various breeds, uniting them under the common denominator of a breed connected to Asian tradition and culture (even if they never originated there).

Oriental cats and related breeds are now very rarely represented at cat shows, which we deeply regret, as they are true embodiments of elegance and perfect form. With our exhibition, we wish to pay tribute to these beautiful and extraordinary cats.

A thematic costume contest will be held on the topic of the show.

This two-certificate 48 & 49 International Show will take place in Pruszcz Gdański, located 10 km from the center of Gdańsk, in the immediate vicinity of our metropolis.

Here are the details:

  • Dates: August 8, 2026, to August 9, 2026.
  • Venue: The exhibition will be held at Pruszcz Gdański, in Sports Hall of the General School Complex No. 1, Niemcewicza Str. 1, 83-000 Pruszcz Gdański
