Volunteer Opportunities
April is Volunteer Appreciation Month, and for 2026 the theme is Ignite Volunteerism: highlighting the power, impact, and importance of individual and collective volunteer efforts in strengthening communities across Canada.
Celebrate your part in this commemorative month of April by volunteering for our Kitties ‘N Blooms TICA Cat Show. We offer many Volunteer Opportunities because we completely agree with the theme for 2024: there is “Something for Everyone.”
Do you have a desire to roll up your sleeves and help transform a dry hockey rink into a gorgeous Cat Show Hall . . . and then back again?
Join our team of phenomenal Setup Volunteers on Friday 17 April between 11 AM and 4 PM (with a short pizza lunch break) to help set up the Judging Rings alongside our experienced Show Committee members.
When the Cat Show finishes at 4PM on Sunday 19 April, you can jump back in with helping take everything apart to store in our trailer until we need it all again next year.
Do you have a desire to serve and care for others?
Join our team of fabulous Hospitality Volunteers, setting out refreshments during the show weekend as well as laying out and cleaning up after lunch for our Judges and Volunteers each day 11AM-2PM including enjoying lunch with the team.
Do you love stepping in wherever an extra pair of hands are needed?
Join our team of valuable General Volunteers who can step in as needed to spell off our Team members for a lunch break or replace garbage bags in the show hall or refill disinfectant for the Judges or whatever else is needed to help Kitties ‘N Blooms run smoothly. And whether you have limited mobility or work best seated or are looking for an intense workout, we have a range of tasks from seated and low impact all the way to heavy lifting available for our Committee members and additional Volunteers eager to help make this event a success.
Do you have an artistic eye and a good camera (phone or dslr)?
Join our team of needed Media Volunteers who will take photos and videos of all aspects of the show from setup volunteers to milling crowds to décor to Vendor booths to myriad cats to people enjoying the event to any other creative snapshots of everything that happens at Kitties ‘N Blooms 2026.
You can email those files to our Media and Marketing Coordinator, Rachel, at show.manager.cca@gmail.com and/or tag @calgarycatshow on Instagram and @Calgary Cat Association on Facebook
Do you enjoy sharing information and connecting people with local events?
Join our community of cat lovers who share our posts on social media and tell all your friends about the upcoming cat show weekend.
If you’d like to spread the word even further, join our team of Networking Volunteers by taking our posters to hang anywhere you shop or spend time around the city. Thank you for helping more people hear about our Calgary Cat Show and Shopping Event who can join us April 18-19, 2026 at Southland Leisure Centre for Kitties ‘N Blooms!
Many hands make light work, and we deeply appreciate each and every person who donates their time and ability to lighten the load all around and and ignite volunteerism in our community through Kitties ‘N Blooms 2026.
THANK YOU!
Please contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Rachel, if you are interested in being part of the team that makes Kitties ‘N Blooms 2026 a success!
We are deeply grateful for each Volunteer who has stepped up in previous years and each one who will step in to participate in 2026.
THANK YOU
