iCatCare reveals conference programme for 2026
The World Feline Congress 2025 takes place at the International Convention Centre, Wales, in June. 

Delegates will be able to access flexible tickets and themed learning days.

International Cat Care (iCatCare) has revealed details of its 2026 conference programme, set to take place 26-28 June at the International Convention Centre (ICC), Wales.

In a first for the show, the learning programme will explore a different theme on each of the three days, which delegates can personalise according to their interests:

  • Friday 26 June: Gastrointestinal disease
  • Saturday 27 June: Respiratory disease
  • Sunday 28 June: Cardiology

The World Feline Congress 2026 also promises an exciting line-up of international experts in feline medicine and behaviour, as well as state-of-the-art, advanced-level, and clinical practice lectures. Additional networking and social events will give delegates, sponsors and exhibitors the opportunity to connect with friends and contacts old and new.

In another first, visitors to the congress will be able to tailor their itinerary by selecting lectures and topics on each of the days without needing to pre-book or pay an additional cost. Ticket prices are being held at 2025 rates, and for the first time, there is a choice of three-day and one-day tickets.

Professor Séverine Tasker, iCatCare veterinary strategic lead, said: “I’m excited to welcome veterinary professionals in all roles, at all career stages, to World Feline Congress 2026, to join with us to advance their knowledge in cat friendly veterinary care. This year we're doing things a bit differently, with a changing theme each day and flexible tickets enabling delegates to access the full learning programme.

“It’s an ambitious approach and we’re working closely with our brilliant speakers, sponsors, and venue, to bring together an exceptional learning experience and event. Whether you’re a regular, or you’ve never experienced World Feline Congress before, I encourage you to explore this year’s programme and secure your ticket to join us in June, you won’t regret it!”

Government releases latest bluetongue statistics

APHA has confirmed the number of bluetongue cases that have been logged in the UK since 1 July 2026.

The total number of BTV-3 cases, as of 6 August, is 187. This includes 183 cases in England and four cases in Wales.

There have been no recorded cases in Scotland and Northern Ireland.

The location of premises in Great Britain where at least one animal has tested positive by PCR for BTV-3, BTV-8 or BTV-12 is available on the bluetongue case map. All livestock keepers in Great Britain are urged to familiarise themselves with nation-specific bluetongue control policies.

Bluetongue virus is a notifiable disease. It is a legal requirement that any suspicions, even if livestock has been vaccinated, are reported immediately.
