a relaxed and attentive environment that any cat owner can appreciate.

The World of Pets Expo proudly announces the TICA Cat Show!
Whether your feline is competing or you’re just there to enjoy the fantastic collection of cat breeds
from around the East Coast, this Expo feature is a must-see. This is a 3-day cat show so come Friday, Saturday or Sunday
and enjoy the fun. Pedigree breeders and educators will be on-site to answer questions about specific breeds.

How do you satisfy your dog’s high-energy inner instincts? Lure Coursing may be the perfect answer!
It’s an exciting way for him to do what comes naturally, but in a safe, controlled environment. Dogs chase a mechanized lure
around a course that simulates the unpredictability of chasing live prey. Zig-zagging across an open arena is simply
heaven for these dogs! At the same time, it helps improve their focus, agility, and sportsmanship.
There is a Fee of $5.00 per dog to run the course.
Showcased on ABC, ESPN, The Outdoor Channel and Animal Planet, DockDogs® has found its way into the homes

You’ve all heard about dog agility competitions and have thoroughly enjoyed watching the dogs whip through
the obstacle courses with determination and speed. It’s amazing how they can climb up and down those high steps
and race through those weave pole areas with such ease and speed. Now, can you actually imagine a cat lowering
its dignity enough to do that? But, of course! Cats are definitely trainable and most are willing
to follow a feather or dangling toy anywhere!
Feline agility competitions are rapidly growing in popularity at cat shows around the world.
CFA started planning agility competitions late in 2004 and numerous clubs have jumped at the chance to set up an agility
course at their cat shows. Exhibitors are standing in line to put their cat through its paces. And spectators are just loving it!
Interactive demos will be going on all day! Give it a try with a trained agility cat and an expert teacher.
It was the quest for a panel system of judging, a system for training judges, including continued educational programs,
and the need to standardize judging and ring procedures, that motivated two industry icons, Vivian and John Nash,
to create the International Judges Association for Dog Grooming Competition.
The International Judges Association for Dog Grooming Competitions offers a Professional Division and a Pet Lovers Division
to create a place for everyone in the IJA Competition Arena.
There will be multiple adoption events taking place in different areas of the Expo.
Check out our extensive animal petting zoo for only $2 (plus the price of admission).
Don’t forget to give your kids a chance to pet and hold all of the animals!
Pony rides are available as well for an additional fee.

Tiny owl rescued from Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree
Tiny owl rescued from Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree
The giant tree that now stands in New York's famed Rockefeller Center for the holiday season came with an unexpected gift this year.Timeline PhotosThis black bear got caught in a November snow at Yosemite National Park in California. While known for its towering granite cliffs and waterfalls, Yosemite is also home to fascinating wildlife. Between 300 and 500 black bears live in the park. Brown bears are no longer found in California, so any bear you see in Yosemite is a black bear, even though their coats are brown in color. Truly black-colored bears are rare in the west. No matter its color, the snow has made this bear frosty. Photo courtesy of Mark Bouldoukian.
