Loving Cats WorldwideReviews of lcwwgroup.com

I have a lot of friends that paid big money to show their cats. I thought SM was amazing at first. He brought new ideas and change to cat shows. People want to hear the judges and see the cats. They want a show and SM did that. All this went to his head unfortunately. He assumed he was a star and has gone as far as asking people to pay him just to talk to him. He was on "Cameo" He offered to judge your cat via video call for money. And just this week sent out an email for people to pay him to talk to him. He's falling faster than Satan did from heaven. There's an entire Facebook page dedicated to him scamming people and he wants people to pay him after scamming thousands of people? He cancels shows, moves locations, no refunds given. This isn't all. He's made several mistakes scoring cats. That's where I come in. My cat won best in show but SM screwed up and awarded the wrong cat. It was brought to his attention and he said my cat would get his awards. I asked him to take down his public post awarding the wrong cat. He refused. Then he said that the owners of the cats sign a form that he's not to be held accountable for mistakes. Then he refused to make the correction even though his own public scoring sheet shows my cat won. A few people with big names in cat shows wrote him and told him he needs to correct. He's mad at me because I won't let it go. I'm not going to because the wrong cat has free advertising now. The lady that owns the cats has that award on her website. This makes people assume her cat is better because of this mistake and because some people still think LCWW is legitimate. I then offered to pay for my trophy and certificate. Now let's put the cherry on top. I was sent a screen shot of him telling his employees to put me on the "suspended for life" list. If my name goes on a list he's further hurting my reputation as a show cat breeder. The cat in question finished his career in TICA as 14th best allbreed cat internationally with a lifetime achievement. He made a mistake and is now actively trying to destroy my reputation. If this post is flagged by SM (as I see him disputing a lot of peoples truths) I have proof of everything I've said. Pictures, screenshots of his conversations. His threat. I have it all... I was just notified on 07/01/2026 to fix my review. Lcww complained because I used the scammers name. So I used SM so the post stays up and people can see what he is. Also, I would LOVE it if SM would take me to court. I have every single screen shot saved of my conversations with him and his conversations with others. This should be a class action lawsuit. I had to delete and rewrite my comment

PULL OUT WITHOUT EMAILING GUESTS NARCISSCIST SCAMMER NO CREDENTIALS I trawled their website and social media the week of and weeks leading up to the event in Belfast and there was no information on the rescheduling, I recieved no emails which other also did not due to an issue. they took no accountability. I travelled hours to the UK and paid for a hotel. From Stephen all I got was a facebook comment saying.'what did you want us to do? knock on doors?' and 'do you know who i am?' bombarded with their team now trying to get me to accept a superfan pass instead of a refund, as if! if you are looking on trustpilot thinking 'will i just chance it?' RUN RUN FAR AWAY THEY ARE SCAMMERS.

This is a complete scam. I purchased tickets as a Christmas gift for the Belfast January 2025 event. It was cancelled at short notice (terrible excuse about wanting to wait until after Christmas to tell people!) Rescheduled to unsuitable dates in July. When I asked for a refund, I have had excuse after excuse and now they are ignoring my emails. First, they needed time to get things in order, then they couldn’t find my email address (that they have emailed me on!). I have had to raise a dispute through my credit card company to try to get my money back. Please don’t waste your money. I have seen the comments from the organiser on FB, responding to people’s concerns. He actually told one person “do you know who I am”. No effort to help people to a resolution, or apologise to those who were not told the event was cancelled and actually travelled to the venue. Avoid!

They cancelled the event in Belfast without notice. We travelled 2 hours each way to go to it only to arrive with nothing happening. We weren't the only people either. They claimed they sent out emails 3 times before the event that it was cancelled, this is a lie. First time we got notice about it was the evening AFTER the event was supposed to have taken place. They claim they changed the schedule in December, this is a lie, as we bought our tickets mid-December, and many others online bought tickets in January for it. They're refusing to give out refunds.

I wish I could give this ZERO stars! My daughter booked tickets to the Belfast show 18&19 January’25 as a Birthday treat. We went to huge expense hiring a cat sitter to take care of our own cat, taxis,bus & train tickets, hotel accommodation etc. When we arrived at the venue it was completely closed & another couple of would-be attendees told us that it had been cancelled & postponed until July! We were shocked as we received zero communication from the organisers. When we contacted them they kept insisting that they had sent us 3 emails advising us that it wasn’t going ahead. We checked spam/trash etc. and zilch from them. Ironically at 8pm that night (8 hours AFTER the event was due to have commenced) we received an email. Clearly this was sent as a ‘test’ or some coverup to pretend it was our Yahoo servers issue - where are the other 2 you claim to have also sent?! We got zero apology from the organisers and were told we would get a 2 day pass instead of a one day ticket for the rescheduled event - which I’m 100% positive will be cancelled again as they clearly didn’t sell enough tickets or have enough vendors. I wish we had read Trust Pilot and saw these awful reviews before we booked. The self professed ‘cat expert’ is a scam artist, he has zero qualifications and clearly no business skills either. He commented on a FB cat group page asking me “Do you know who I am”? In response to my complaint about the show. It proves he’s a total narcissist & has zero empathy for his customers. Avoid at all costs.

LCWW, Loving Cats World Wide! What a load of rubbish. Should be Loving Cash World Wide. The owner of this company is a con man. He has been bankrupt more than once. He scams people not only for their money but also on his knowledge of cats. He has the gift of the gab. The cost of entry not only for the general public but also each cat is exorbitant. The amount of cats attending is very low and there are very few different breeds. I would avoid at all cost. If you want to see a proper cat show Google GCCF and Tica. Proper show and proper qualified judges.

They scam small businesses. The owner seems incompetent/money hungry, if you change the dates/venue of your show you need to refund the vendors/attendees that can’t make it to the event, or worse you change the venue to something not accessible or advertised to the public eg the Birmingham show where you advertised it to be at the NEC only to then remove all mentions of that from your website and then actually change the venue to be a agricultural barn that is 80 MILES away! Who would attend that? you’re nothing without the driving force of the vendors and to pull the rug from under them is unacceptable and I hope this review deters anyone from working with this event in the future. The owner is very casual about the lack of refunds to these people as if it were growing pains, but the reality is they’ve been a registered business for 10 years and should not just be so nonchalant about it. Small businesses can’t take this on the chin, especially after covid. There is also a severe lack of advertising meaning awful footfall for businesses that still went ahead with the show.

They exploit small businesses. Not a great experience at all. Me along with a fair few other traders feel the same way. They lie about footfall, overcharge for space, move the venue around too often in the build up to the show and don't advertise enough at all. Like a lot of the other reviews here explain, I would stay clear. Also please be mindful that the LCWW group are the over arching company and they hold events under different names, but all owned by the same people. Please look into this before trading/attending as a paying customer.
