The cat shows are so much fun and educational. I've grown to love my cats even more thanks to Steve, his family & LCWW. I look forward to being a part of the family every year. I say family because that's how you're treated. Keep up the great work LCWW.

Thank you Delcia!

Loved the show you brought to Perth last year. The best cat show I have ever attended. I really enjoy the way you handle the cats and your commentary. I am looking forward to the next show in Perth in May, see you then!

Paid for lifetime membership and they have cancelled all UK shows. False advertising.

So, Lifetime Friendships are non-refundable according to the refund policy. The value of that friendship is not in the shows but in the services provided. Also, it's not true that we cancelled all the shows. We still have Surrey, Belfast and Edinburgh and others being added soon.

There appears to have been a problem in UK with the LCWW shows, which has greatly reduced the ratings for this organization. In the US, I have attended somewhere in the neighborhood of 18 shows as a vendor, back and forth across the country in 2023-24. With the exception of a couple of shows (it happens), the gate has been fantastic, the shows entertaining, and we have been Very happy with our sales. Of course we are disappointed the California shows in early 2025 have not happened as planned, and understand why Sacramento was rescheduled. It also happens with other organizations from time to time, including CFA last year, when the venue double booked. We look forward to continuing to vend at LCWW shows, and the warm friendliness we receive from the staff and Steven.

Karen! Our biggest vendor fan who has been with us since the very show in San Francisco! Thank you for understanding and we do our best to be as transparent as possible. We will get another Bay Area show scheduled soon. Big HUGS.

Would be zero stars if I could. I was booked in to attend an event with this company at the NEC as a trader and paid a fair amount of money. The event was moved to an agricultural barn 100 miles away in Newbury with no heating and no refreshments. My sales obviously suffered. I was offer a free event at the London Olympia event which was cancelled and moved again to a different venue, then the date changed and then cancelled completely. I’m still awaiting a refund. I deal with a huge amount of event organised and this company is worse I’ve dealt with. They take your money then block you so please be aware when dealing with them EDIT - I have NOT been offered a refund and my emails are being ignored so this is VERY true. If you’d like to contact me to refund £350 then I’d happily change my review but you are making it very difficult to find something nice to say about you

This again is not true, sorry to say. You have been contacted and offered a refund, so please only post facts. How were all your other shows with us? Right.

As a cat show judge, former cat breeder and exhibitor, plus regional director in another association and show promoter I have never been so thrilled. With LCWW, I can show each cat and highlight personalities and the love of cats. Most importantly, I can promote adoption. Adoption should be the goal at all cat shows. It is for LCWW......HALLELUJAH

Thank you Patti! It's all about ALL cats! and we are making a huge effort to really bring as many rescues to our events as possible this year!

Super fun and knowledgeable! Their genuine care for all cats is so apparent. The judges at the shows are so informative and not boring robots as they judge, they make it fun and interactive.

LCWW has opened my eyes to how a show should be run, how passionate Steven and his crew are, and how fun it all can be. The vendors were all so unique and the rescue folks were super knowledgeable. There's just a vibe at the shows that will make you smile. Bringing all my crazy cat friends next year, can't wait for it to get here!
