Hi Drena! As with any startup, there are blips along the way. Thank you for sharing.

I had the incredible opportunity to…

I had the incredible opportunity to participate in the LCWW show in Dallas with my Maine Coon, Fantastico called Zorro, and it was an unforgettable experience! As a cattery owner, I was excited to share my passion for Maine Coons with fellow cat lovers, and this event provided the perfect platform to do so.

From start to finish, the show was organized with professionalism and a deep love for cats. My husband and I had an amazing time, and a huge part of that was thanks to Steven. His dedication, hard work, and commitment to making sure everyone had a fantastic experience did not go unnoticed. He went above and beyond to ensure the event was smooth, engaging, and enjoyable for both exhibitors and visitors.

Steven’s passion for LCWW and its mission shines through in everything he does. His kindness, patience, and tireless efforts to accommodate everyone truly set this show apart. We left feeling inspired and even more excited about the world of cat shows.

If you’re considering attending an LCWW show, I highly recommend it—you won’t be disappointed. And with someone as dedicated as Steven at the helm, you can expect an experience that is not only well-organized but also welcoming and full of joy!

Thank you, Steven, and the entire LCWW team for an amazing event! Sweet Giants Maine Coons cattery can’t wait for the next one!

I don't know why there's smh for this organization. They are a great group trying to make things better for the cat world. I've been a spectator in 23 and an a cat exibitor in 24. I will be there this year too. It was awesome fun and many shelter cats get forever homes. This was the highlight of my year!

Mitzi! Thank you for sharing. When you make change there is always either resistance or jealousy. I think here we are dealing with both. Onwards and upwards!

Catstravaganza was our first cat show, not gonna be our last!

My wife and I went to the Catstravaganza in Toronto and had a lovely time.
I highly recommend making sure you see Steven Meserve do his thing (not that other judges don't know their stuff, too, but Steven definitely has the entertainer gene and it's a lot of fun listening to him and learning quite a bit about the different cat breeds in the process).

My daughter and I really enjoy the shows! We’ve been to 2. My only concern is that I signed up for VIP over a year ago and was supposed to receive some kind of welcome gift and never did.

I have concerns about the integrity of this company’s claims.

Edited*
Unreliable, sells tickets to events then cancels the events the week of and does not issue refunds. Has you email them to request the refund and they will stop answering when you ask for your money back and will claim a refund will be established in 60 days.
You will have to follow up and email again for your refund after they try to “upgrade” you to a lifetime pass or a show that does not accommodate.
They will not answer social media DMs and they will delete any comments.
Any truthful review on Trust Pilot will be flagged.

Please define CONMAN. Everyone is refunded in line with our longstanding refund policy all over the website. You agree to this when you buy a ticket. In the 3+ years LCWW has been operating, two shows have been cancelled and two shows rescheduled....out of over 50. Everyone was refunded or in the process of being refunded.

Scammed

Scammed

Just reported to my bank. My bank is processing my request. This company's actual name is "plural possiblility" as deliberately chosen wrong English word, already suggests it's scam. They are based in Portugal and not UK based. They have never actually arranged a cat show in Bristol. Otherwise please feel free to show here the actual proof (arrangement of place, council paperwork etc).
Refund buttons of them could be another scam, they offer to buy life time subscription paying more, 100£ is a life time subscription. when refund link is clicked at the top of the page it says Nonrefundable. And there is no any application form or actual process to proceed. Simply they pretent to have a refund policy but actually they don't.

Here is the actual context(no any legitimate reason is shown):

We regret to inform you that, due to unforeseen circumstances, we must cancel our upcoming Bristol Catstravaganza®. We understand this may be disappointing, and we truly appreciate your patience and support.

All ticket holders will be automatically refunded in due course, in line with our official refund policy. You can review the details of our refund process here

Great LCWW cat shows

I have been to 3 LCWW cat shows and had a lovely time. The cats remained in their own large comfortable cat carriers, just moved briefly to small cages for voting. If LCWW cancel their shows, no problem for me as I have a Lifetime Superfan Pass (£100). Just need to go to one more show to get my money's worth. Only fault is their poor sound system/acoustics, so 4 stars

If i could rate this 0 stars i would

If i could rate this 0 stars i would. Had tickets to the london show feb 15th which was rescheduled to march 21st. I first had an issue when i bought tickets as it went to the wrong email address that facebook somehow filled in, so emailed to rectify this and i was ignored UNTIL i flagged it as a scam on my bank and then they replied with an excuse that 'they had s new admin'.
Fast forward to the week before the event my friend had asked what time it started which i then went on the website to find this information to find no listings for Feb 15th which was a bit strange, i then see a day for london in march. I had not been notified about this rescheduled date despite them claiming they sent emails out!! I then asked for a refund as i cannot make the new date and paolo from lcww has been responding to my emails firstly saying they were processing right away and then when i said my card i payed with was no longer active he responded (aftwr i had to follow up twice) saying my refund will be with me within March as they have high refund requests currently. I am not confident i will get my refund but we will see.
Will never entertain this event again

And update in august: still no refund, emails being ignored.

As we have said over and over again. We send emails out to everyone that buys tickets from the email address they use. If you have an email address that is linked to apple or google pay and you do not check it, then how are we supposed to contact? It is not a good look to have people showing up at an event, right?

This company is a SCAM

This company is a SCAM. They regularly cancel shows and refuse to refund tickets - they ignore emails and delete all comments you make on their social accounts. Multiple reviews have revealed this. This company is a disgrace, do NOT purchase tickets to their events.

False advertising don't waste your time or money.

This association has only been in business for 2 years. The logo states 2015 which is deceiving. This business may have started out good but has dwindled down because of unethical practices.

Moving show venues to different locations at the last minute not letting the people aware and then people show up and there is no show.

People ask for a refund and no reply from this company. True disappointment.

At the shows only 30 -+ cats show up and we expect to see more as advertised. Many cats are rescue household pets and not the breeds advertised. False advertising is a problem.

Lifetime friend deals mean nothing if there are no shows to go to. Deals change every day.

My experience is based on listening to the exhibitors and spectators and my involvement with this company for the past 2 years.

The show does not go on…

A complete and total scam. Advertises tickets for ‘events’ the venue knows nothing about. Moves the events and refuses refunds, offers you other scams instead such as the lifetime pass they’ve leached £1,500 off some poor individuals. ‘Organiser’ spends your money on piss poor beard transplants. It’s all about the money £££. Take it elsewhere and do not give your money to Steven Meserve or LCWW, go to TICA events instead which are 1/3 of the price and actually run.
