Fundy Fanciers will be moving to a cageless show format after the March 2015 Moncton show. What does this mean? We will no longer be providing metal wire cages for exhibitors. We will be transitioning to a show where exhibitors bring their own kennel/cage/crate for their cat(s). Many exhibitors currently own crates/show cages and will not be affected by this change. Due to a lack of manpower (let’s face it, it’s 95% womanpower) we need to find a less stressful and heavy way to set up for the shows. Set up and tear down are tasks that usually see 4 or 5 people moving tables, chairs, judging podiums, and dozens of wire cages. For those who are flying to our shows we will have a few single and double pop up cages available for rent. The same applies to first time exhibitors and those with large numbers of cats. We don’t want you to stop showing, but we would like to see you make this transition show by show, one crate at a time. We are giving you notice now so that you can take advantage of any sales you see on portable crates. We all know the name “Sturdi” – they’re great, but they are expensive. There are many options for lower budgets. Darren Robinson at Pet Valu Moncton has agreed to give a 20% discount on any of the Bella and Bailey Soft Portable Crates (petvalu/product/65061/soft-portable-crate-bailey-bella). Any prepaid order placed by March 6th will get 20% off the regular selling price of these high quality crates. The canvas is thick and durable, the supports are metal, there are openings on the long side, the short side and the top and there is a comfy pad on the bottom included in the price. There are 4 sizes available. The Small/Single (65061) is 24Lx 18Wx17H and retails for $79.99. With the discount it would be $63.99 + HST = $72.31. The Large/Double (65063) is 36Lx24Wx23H and sells for $129.99. The discount brings it to $103.99 + HST = $117.51 Although we will still provide wire cages for the Riverview show, we are hoping many exhibitors will be able to purchase one of these crates before the end of March – not only is a great product at a super price, but Darren will deliver the crates to the show hall, so it’s one less thing for you to carry to Riverview! You can order your crate through Pet Valu Moncton by phoning (506) 382-6093 or emailing [email protected]. Please mention that you’re interested in the Fundy Fanciers crate deal and they will know how to help you. Thank you for understanding and cooperating! Your show committee loves to organize and execute these cat shows – just imagine how happy we will be without strained muscles!!!
