Going to a show or two is the best place to start if you intend to show yourself in the future, it will give you an idea of what to look for in a show quality cat and also the chance to speak to some of the experienced breeder/exhibitors there. You will find many of them will be happy to give you good advice and may even have or know someone with a kitten suitable for showing.

It is more normal though to get onto a breeders waiting list in the meantime until one is available, show quality kittens are rare in a litter so you should be prepared to wait until the right kitten comes along. Dont be tempted to buy any kitten offered to you as show quality, this is where it could be a costly mistake otherwise, do some research on your chosen breed and get a copy of the Standard of Points for Exotics from the GCCF so you know what to look for before you visit any of the breeders.
