HOW IS OUR SHOW COOL? Meows and Minis Live is MINIS ONLY show — the only models that may be shown at this show are those that are “Little Bit” sized and smaller (including Stablemates). Models that are larger than Little Bit size will be removed from the show ring.

Meows and Minis Live is a NAMHSA qualifying show. All horses placing 1st or 2nd in this show (except for fun classes) will receive a NAMHSA ticket. All classes are OPEN classes – they are not separated into novice, junior, or senior divisions.

WHY DO YOU NEED TO COME? Meows and Minis Live is a fund-raiser. We will hold an auction and raffle on the day of the show to benefit Cat Guardians, our local no-kill cat shelter. Since 1989, Cat Guardians has found homes for hundreds of cats. Many of the cats at the shelter are permanent residents due to medical conditions or unsuitable personalities, and these are given loving care by the volunteers. The shelter is not-for-profit and operates on donations. The profits from the auction and raffle will all be donated 100% to the shelter. Last year we raised over $3,000 for the shelter, which took care of many vet bills! To learn more about this wonderful shelter, please go to http://catguardians.hypermart.net/.

***If you would like to donate an auction or raffle item, please contact Chris Wallbruch. All items are gratefully accepted!***

This year, we will again allow people to turn in items that the shelter needs in exchange for a raffle ticket. Every item is worth one raffle ticket! J You may bring them to the show and exchange them for a ticket at that time. The shelter can use: Lamb & Rice dry & canned food - any brand, Scoopable litter (Please NO Tidy Cat or Cat's Pride), Regular Litter, Baking soda, Pine Sol, Paper Towels, 30-gallon yard waste bags, Canned food (any brand), Stamps, AA batteries, Gift cards for Target, Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Petco, etc (stores where we can buy supplies like sponges, cat beds, etc. for the shelter)
