Welcome to Birmingham, Alabama!

Alabama Paws & Claws Cat Club membership and team members are thrilled to welcome you to our ‘home.’

The Club formed and chartered with TICA in 1983 and began holding shows at the Oxford Civic Center in the Oxford/Anniston Alabama area.  Over the years the Club has hosted a variety of show formats in various areas in the Birmingham, Alabama area.  Mostly recently the Club has returned to its original area to host its regular March show in Anniston, Alabama.

Membership then and now has always included folks from around the state of Alabama and in more recent years has grown to include people from all over the region and even outside of the region.  Our extended show team for this 2018 Annual also represents many parts of the Southeast Region and other regions as well.

No matter where our members and team hail from, we are all glad to have you here in Birmingham, Alabama and hope you enjoy the city, state and region as much as we do!

Please join us to Experience the Magic of the Magic City!
