When we were planning Catology, I kept coming back to the same thought:

As exhibitors, we know what is happening in the ring.

Most spectators don't.

They don't know what judges are looking for.
They don't know why one cat is chosen over another.
They don't know the stories behind the breeds, exhibitors, and judges.

One of Catology's goals has always been to help bridge that gap through education and better spectator experiences.

Last year, an unexpected opportunity helped make that vision possible. A local distributor was liquidating equipment, and I purchased a professional poster printer that will allow us to create much of our educational signage and sponsor displays in-house.

For 2027, we're offering Show Sponsorships in each of our six judging rings.

Sponsors can create their own signage or work with graphic artist Lucy Robinson of Dramatails to design custom artwork featuring their cats, cattery, business, or brand. Sponsors who choose the design option receive both the printed poster and the digital artwork for future use.

And when the show is over, the poster is yours to keep.

Your sponsorship helps support the educational displays, spectator resources, community activities, and exhibitor experiences that make Catology different.

To encourage early participation—and because summer is the best time for us to design and print sponsorship materials—we're offering 10% off all sponsorships through July with code:
2027EBsponsor
(Code is case sensitive.)

We're excited to start creating the first sponsor displays and sharing them with you over the coming months.

A few days ago, we shared why we do Catology.

Because we believe cat shows have the power to bring people together in meaningful ways.

To educate.
To welcome.
To inspire.
To create connection.

Now, we are inviting others to help us build that vision.

Today, we are officially opening Catology 2027 sponsorship opportunities.

We intentionally created sponsorship options at many different price points so both individuals and businesses can participate in helping create the Catology experience.

Sponsorships currently start at just $25 and include opportunities such as:

✨ Show Sponsors

Sponsor one of our judging rings with banner placement seen continuously throughout the weekend.

✨ Concessions Sponsors

Support one of the highest-traffic areas of the show while receiving repeated visibility throughout the day.

✨ Hospitality Sponsors

Help us care for the judges, clerks, and ring staff who keep the show running.

Over the coming weeks, we’ll be spotlighting each sponsorship opportunity individually so you can see exactly what each one supports and how it becomes part of the event.

As a thank you for helping us prepare early, all sponsorships are currently 10% off through July using code:

2027EBsponsor
(Code is case sensitive.)

Why the early sponsorship discount?

Because Catology is built by volunteers, and summer is when we have the most time to design, print, organize, and prepare sponsorship materials before the school year and busy season begin. Early sponsorships genuinely help us create a smoother, more polished experience for everyone involved.

Sponsors can complete everything directly through our website in just two simple steps:
1️⃣ Purchase your sponsorship
2️⃣ Submit your sponsorship form and artwork

Need help creating graphics or signage?

While photo-ready artwork is free to submit, we also offer professional design services through digital artist Lucy Robinson of Dramatails. Sponsors who choose this option receive custom artwork created specifically for their sponsorship, along with the digital rights to use that artwork in the future.

Thank you for believing in what we are building.

Beyond the Ring.

Why do we do Catology?

Because somewhere along the way, we realized we wanted to create something a little different, built around competition, connection, and community.

At the first Catology, we watched people who had only known each other online finally meet in person. We watched exhibitors sit down to dinner together, compliment one another’s cats, compliment each other's clothes, share knowledge, laugh, help each other, and form friendships.

And afterward, we started hearing something we did not expect.

People told us they left feeling inspired. Re-energized. Excited about their future in the cat fancy again.

That mattered to us.

Because this hobby survives through people.

Through friendship.
Through mentorship.
Through connection.
Through the memories we create together.

We believe the future of the cat fancy depends on building a community where people feel welcomed, supported, inspired, and excited about what comes next.

That’s why education matters to us.
That’s why community matters to us.
That’s why we intentionally create time for people to connect beyond the competition itself.

At Catology, the show ring is the foundation.

On top of that foundation are the conversations after finals. The dinners. The laughter. The friendships. The moments that remind us why we fell in love with cats — and with the people crazy enough to love them just as much as we do.

We are not just trying to create a cat show.

We are trying to set the scene where cat lovers of all kinds create tomorrow’s yesterdays — a TICA show weekend people will look back on years later with fondness.

That is why we do Catology.
That is why we go beyond the ring.

At Catology, our judges are more than names on a flyer.

They are educators.
Mentors.
Breeders.
Veterinarians.
Genetics experts.
Independent thinkers.

People who have dedicated enormous portions of their lives to understanding cats — not just how they look, but how they move, develop, communicate, and thrive.

For Catology 2027, we intentionally selected judges who reflect the spirit of Beyond the Ring.

Judges who are thoughtful.
Judges who value learning.

Judges who are willing to share their knowledge with exhibitors and spectators alike.

Judges who appreciate the responsibility that comes with evaluating someone’s breeding program, preservation efforts, and years of work.

We wanted a panel that would create not only meaningful competition, but meaningful conversation.

A panel that would inspire.

Throughout the weekend, we hope exhibitors will not only celebrate wins, but also gain insight, perspective, and appreciation for the artistry, science, and dedication behind the cat fancy.

And for spectators — we hope these judges help you see just how much knowledge, thought, and passion exists within this world we love.

Please join us in welcoming our 2027 judging panel to Reno.

You told us you wanted more… so we’re coming back with more.

More education.
More connection.
More community.
More experience.

Catology Cat Show & Expo returns to Reno February 18–21, 2027 — and this year, we’re going even further Beyond the Ring.

✨ Thursday Education Day
✨ Thursday Night Welcome Party & Casual Dinner — 6:00 PM
✨ 18 Rings Across 3 Days
✨ All-in-One Resort Experience

Last year, we watched something special happen.

We saw exhibitors sitting down to dinner with people they had never met before. We saw friendships form across regions. We saw people helping one another through the challenges of showing, laughing together, learning together, and building community beyond competition.

We want to nurture that.

So this year, we’re intentionally building more opportunities to connect.

After Thursday night’s dinner, we’ll be hosting a Catology-style game night featuring our own custom version of “Cats Against Humanity.” (Yes… we’re literally making our own decks.)

And that’s not all.

We’ve also adjusted show hours to create more social time throughout the weekend. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday show hours will run from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, giving exhibitors more time to enjoy the experience — whether that means dinner with friends, relaxing at the resort, exploring the casinos, getting a massage, or simply spending time with people who understand this crazy hobby we all love.

The competition may bring us together…
…but at Catology, the experience goes beyond the ring.

Honors Class: Beyond the Ring

Beauty is where it starts.

Behavior. Confidence. Health. Maternal ability.

That’s what makes a breeding cat.

Congratulations BastetExotics Putting on the Ritz and Sabrina Hewer!

Honors Class: Beyond the Ring

The goal isn’t just to look wild.

It’s to create a cat that can live beautifully in a home.

That balance is intentional.

That balance takes a cat from ordinary to extraordinary.

Congratulations RainierSV Muse and Julie Laney!

Honors Class: Beyond the Ring

This is what confidence looks like in the ring.

Structure matters.

But a good temperament on that structure is what makes a cat truly exceptional.

Congratulations GroverRex Umi Zoomie and Michelle Grover!

May 1 marks the start of a new show season.

At Catology, we’re asking a different question:
What actually makes a cat exceptional?

This Honors Class brought cats forward for thoughtful evaluation—looking beyond the standard to the full picture: structure, temperament, and purpose.

This is what happens when education and breeding come together.

We grow this hobby together.

As we start the 2027 show season, we will be celebrating each on our three Honor Class Awards Recipients from the 2026 Catology show.

Over the next few months we'll be putting the pieces of Catology 2027 together.

Mark your calendars for February 17 - 21, 2027. Same great room rates. Expanded education for exhibitors. And an expanded Honors Class.
