Cleveland Cat Club, 1902

This is an advertisement for Cleveland Cat Club's first cat show, held on November 30 and December1-2, 1904.

Interesting, in that CFA held its International Show in Cleveland this year ... 114 years later. The International Show was held at the I-X Center in Cleveland and attracted over 800 cats from around the world.  It's going to be back in Cleveland in mid-October, 2019 as well!

From "The Cat Journal", October 1904. These magazines are part of the Glendale Library's Cat Collection that was donated to The CFA Foundation. The magazines were donated to the Glendale Library by Mrs. Muriel Alexander. Binding of the magazines donated by The Billig Clinic.
