I love LCWW

I love LCWW! A few weeks ago I enjoyed my second show in 2 years here in Toronto, Canada. Such a great atmosphere, so many beautiful cats. Steven is such a delight to watch. His interactions with cats and people are great. Even the mayor of Toronto attended. So great to be surrounded by other cat lovers. Looking gorward to the next time.

A Firsthand Perspective: Integrity and Growth at LCWW

Having attended several LCWW shows, I can confidently say they have been an incredible experience. I’ve learned so much and met so many amazing people along the way! Steven and the judges consistently demonstrate genuine love and compassion for the animals, and I’ve personally witnessed numerous adoptions from rescues and shelters at their events.

Like any growing organization, LCWW has faced its share of challenges, but I have seen them take accountability, address concerns, and actively work to improve—just as any honest and dedicated group would. Contrary to the false accusations being spread, I have never experienced or witnessed any scams. Instead, I’ve seen a team committed to transparency, integrity, and continuous growth.

I fully support Steven and LCWW and admire their willingness to listen, learn, and evolve for the betterment of the animals and the communities they serve.

Would definitely recommend if you love cats 🐈‍⬛

Raise a Chargeback or Dispute to get your refund!

On 3 January 2025 I bought two all-weekend tickets for the "CATstravaganza" event in Belfast to be held on 18-19 January 2025. The CATch was although the website advertised the dates as 18-19 January AND the title of the confirmation email had 18-19 January as the date, buried within the body of the email the dates were given as July 19-20, 2025 which I did not notice. Who would notice such a thing when the website said January and the email title said January? I did not receive any other indication that the event was not going ahead as planned. I found out from an unrelated Facebook page that the event had been rescheduled. I posted a complaint on the LCWW Facebook page and although LCWW contacted me directly I eventually decided I would rather have a refund of the cost than have anything more to do with LCWW. I was promised the refund by end of January. No refund arrived. I contacted the email address again mid February. No reply. Finally I raised a Chargeback request (or dispute) as there was a clear case here of promised refund not delivered. They had five weeks beyond the end of January to send the refund or even communicate why it had not been sent as promised and they did not.

PLEASE if you have been told you would receive a refund and then been ghosted, know your rights! Raise a dispute with the bank that issued the card you made your payment on. They can get the money back in your account and the bank will chase it with LCWW. This business is happy to hold on to your money rather than refund it, even when promised. The LCWW organiser, turned up on the Cat Rescue Facebook page where I had advised other disappointed cat-fans how to proceed. Several people turned up at the venue in Belfast on the weekend in January - they had booked trains and accomodation because they too did not receive any notice of the date change. The LCWW organiser justified LCWWs errors and blamed the victims. Not a very good look. Those comments have since been deleted.

The poor reviews here on Trust Pilot must be stinging the company. The organiser has posted messages on his Facebook group pleading for positive reviews and says "I do apologize for the rescheduling and cancelling of the last few events, but we are all working hard to respond to everyone and make it right and refunds are always given in line with our long standing refund policy” This does not tie in with my experience and the experience of others here.

Look at the replies LCWW has made to the negative reviewers here. The language is petulant and self-serving. Not a good look.

Thanks for reading.

There are a lot of clever points in this post. We have never held on to any money and always refund within our long standing policy, where is more than fair. In the rare event that a show is moved, we contact everyone. We email and send newsletters for weeks. If you do not check the email that you bought the tickets with, then it's likely to get missed. (like on your apple pay) Thank you for sharing Steven's post on FB. We appreciate it. It is far from uncommon for business to ask for positive reviews. This is literally how it works. More people in the day and age air their problems, then the wins. Thanks for sharing your experience and we hope that your experience.

Keep changing the venue dates

Keep changing the venue dates, not refunding our money back. Hes a toxic cruel man who is only a scammer, he doesnt deserve his platform, he will only manipulate it as proven with what hes done to everyone around him

That's a bit aggressive. A scam would imply staeling or faking. Steven is a very public figure. That seems liek a very silly dumb scam operation. All refunds are done in line with our refund policy and the policy is all over the website. Sorry you are so upset, but decisions need to be made to ensure a flawless event.

Here we go again. What's the con? Steven shows up at all events. In the last 3 years 2 events have been cancelled and 2 rescheduled...out of over 50. Everyone was contacted and refunded. If Steven was a clever conman he would not be a pubic figure?

Scam

So, we know this not to be true. Everyone was contacted by email and newsletter. Sometimes things end up in spam? Everyone is or will be refunded inline with our refund policy. Sorry that you are sad and upset, but this is not the intention.

Love LCWW family

The cat shows are so much fun and educational. I've grown to love my cats even more thanks to Steve, his family & LCWW. I look forward to being a part of the family every year. I say family because that's how you're treated.
Keep up the great work LCWW.

So, Lifetime Friendships are non-refundable according to the refund policy. The value of that friendship is not in the shows but in the services provided. Also, it's not true that we cancelled all the shows. We still have Surrey, Belfast and Edinburgh and others being added soon.

Excellent Opportunity for Vendors

There appears to have been a problem in UK with the LCWW shows, which has greatly reduced the ratings for this organization. In the US, I have attended somewhere in the neighborhood of 18 shows as a vendor, back and forth across the country in 2023-24. With the exception of a couple of shows (it happens), the gate has been fantastic, the shows entertaining, and we have been Very happy with our sales.

Of course we are disappointed the California shows in early 2025 have not happened as planned, and understand why Sacramento was rescheduled. It also happens with other organizations from time to time, including CFA last year, when the venue double booked.

We look forward to continuing to vend at LCWW shows, and the warm friendliness we receive from the staff and Steven.

Would be zero stars if I could

Would be zero stars if I could. I was booked in to attend an event with this company at the NEC as a trader and paid a fair amount of money. The event was moved to an agricultural barn 100 miles away in Newbury with no heating and no refreshments. My sales obviously suffered. I was offer a free event at the London Olympia event which was cancelled and moved again to a different venue, then the date changed and then cancelled completely. I’m still awaiting a refund. I deal with a huge amount of event organised and this company is worse I’ve dealt with. They take your money then block you so please be aware when dealing with them

EDIT - I have NOT been offered a refund and my emails are being ignored so this is VERY true. If you’d like to contact me to refund £350 then I’d happily change my review but you are making it very difficult to find something nice to say about you

This again is not true, sorry to say. You have been contacted and offered a refund, so please only post facts. How were all your other shows with us? Right.

As a cat show judge

As a cat show judge, former cat breeder and exhibitor, plus regional director in another association and show promoter I have never been so thrilled. With LCWW, I can show each cat and highlight personalities and the love of cats. Most importantly, I can promote adoption. Adoption should be the goal at all cat shows. It is for LCWW......HALLELUJAH

It feels good to smile

LCWW has opened my eyes to how a show should be run, how passionate Steven and his crew are, and how fun it all can be. The vendors were all so unique and the rescue folks were super knowledgeable. There's just a vibe at the shows that will make you smile. Bringing all my crazy cat friends next year, can't wait for it to get here!
