The Cat Fanciers’ Association (CFA), established in the United States in 1906, is currently the world’s largest registry of pedigreed cats. Their mission is to preserve and promote pedigreed cat breeds while enhancing the well-being of all cats. Whether you’re interested in choosing, caring for, or breeding cats, the CFA offers information, advice, and expertise to cat enthusiasts. 🐱
The International Cat Association (TICA), established in the United States in 1979, is the world’s largest genetic registry for pedigreed and household pet cats. Originally North American, it now has a global reach. TICA’s key activities include:
- Encouraging members to be cat owners, lovers, and breeders who work together to preserve pedigreed cats and promote domestic cat health and welfare.
- Maintaining a certified pedigree registry.
- Hosting cat shows that showcase both pedigreed and non-pedigreed cats.
- Fostering positive relations between breeders across the U.S. and other countries.
- Supporting feline health research through a foundation and providing resource materials to members.
TICA also administers rules for hundreds of cat shows worldwide, evaluates cats based on breed standards, and recognizes cats in various classes. Their commitment to preserving distinct cat breeds ensures predictable traits for future generations.
I know of 6 American cat associations:
In North America, several cat associations play pivotal roles in promoting feline welfare and breeding. Here are some of the recognized major cat associations:
- CFA (The Cat Fanciers’ Association): A prestigious organization that oversees cat shows, breed standards, and registrations in the United States.
- CFF (Cat Fanciers’ Federation): Another notable association dedicated to pedigreed cats and cat shows.
- ACA (American Cat Association): A non-profit organization that advocates for responsible breeding and cat welfare.
- ACFA (American Cat Fanciers Association): A cat registry that recognizes purebred, pedigreed cats, experimental breeds, and household pets.
- CCA (Canadian Cat Association): Although based in Canada, it collaborates closely with American counterparts. This is added for completeness! 🙀😉
- TICA (The International Cat Association): A global registry that promotes pedigreed and household pet cats.
