Paid for Sponsorship of Non-Existent Awards
The speciality breed cat club in the UK of which I am a member paid to sponsor some LCWW awards won by cats of the same breed as ours in other countries as we thought it would be a nice way of fostering relations with exhibitors and breeders abroad. There had been an option on the LCWW website (in fact it is still there at the time of writing this review) to sponsor winners of awards for the 2023-2024 Show Year. In October 2024 we paid to sponsor two LCWW USA Regional Awards and also a Latin America Regional Award won by cats of the same breed as ours in the 2023-2024 Show Year. After paying to sponsor these awards we heard nothing further from LCWW. The USA Regional Awards for 2023-2024 according to the LCWW Events Calendar had been due to be presented at the Sarasota Show in December 2024; however that show was cancelled and rescheduled for April 2025. The Sarasota Show for April 2025 was also then cancelled and rescheduled again for 27th December 2025 but this time with no mention of the USA Regional Awards being presented there. Then that Sarasota Show scheduled for December 2025 was only on the Events Calendar for a couple of weeks before being moved to 24th January 2026. Our club has emailed LCWW asking them to confirm what is happening about the awards that we have sponsored but we have heard nothing back from them whatsoever. It is our understanding that other sponsors of the USA Regional Awards and those who had been expecting to receive them have also been met with the same wall of silence from LCWW. Exhibitors have put a lot of money, time and effort into going to shows in order to get their cats as far up the standings as possible in order to achieve these awards but it appears that it has all been for nothing. Sponsors too have been left feeling disappointed and out of pocket. Therefore, based on this personal experience, we would urge caution to anyone who is considering sponsoring or having any dealings with this company.

Hi Stephen.The awards were finally just sent to someone that can get the awards to the USA. They were being held in Stoke until legal proceedings started. This was at no fault to LCWW. You know exactly what happened. Please don't spread lies....I am sure you know what happens legally.
