Oz Feline Fair & CATstravaganza!
By Bree Pagliuso|
The cats are coming and it’s going to be a CATstravaganza. This May, our venue is turning into the ultimate playground for cat lovers of all kinds. From show-stopping pedigrees to handmade treasures, cosplay, competitions, and one seriously famous judge, Oz Feline Fair & CATstravaganza is here to celebrate everything feline – and then some.
Whether you’re a lifelong cat person or just a little curious, this is the event you didn’t know you needed.
A first for Australia
Happening for the very first time on Australian soil, Oz Feline Fair is uniting cat lovers from across the country for a weekend of pure feline joy.
Expect glamour, drama, and plenty of paws on the runway as cats strut their stuff in an international competition judged by Steven Meserve – a celebrity in the cat world, founder of Loving Cats Worldwide, and the TikTok-famous host of Catwalk. He’ll be in Melbourne all weekend, leading the judging and hosting interactive sessions you won’t want to miss.
Meet your people (and your cats)
A full-blown celebration of cat culture, from the cute to the quirky. Expect:
Purr-Creations Alley – a vibrant artisan marketplace filled with handmade, handcrafted and one-of-a-kind cat-themed art, accessories, and gifts
Vendor Village – an eclectic mix of traders offering treats, toys, accessories, apparel and services for cats and their humans
Cat Cosplay competition – from fantasy characters to feline fashion, prepare for some truly imaginative costumes
Pat-a-Cat Zones – meet some of the event’s most relaxed feline stars (but remember, only authorised cats can attend)
Steven Meserve’s Catwalk sessions – get up close with competition cats and their breeders, learn about different breeds, and meet local rescue groups introducing adoptable cats (no onsite adoptions)
VIC & VIK classes – pedigreed and domestic cats (and kittens) face off for the ultimate bragging rights in these show-stopping highlight events
It’s more than just a cat show
At MCEC, we celebrate every interest, every niche, and every corner of culture. Oz Feline Fair is a vibrant reminder that there’s a place here for everyone; whether you’re dressing up as your favourite feline, browsing handcrafted cat-themed art, or cheering on your top pick in the CATstravaganza.
Curious? Come join the fun.
You might just leave a little more obsessed than you expected.
