Sold As Pet Only status
Commencing in January 2020 NSW CFA members will have the option of requesting that the notation “Sold as Pet Only” is included on the registration certificates of kittens being registered should they wish to sell and register kittens on that basis. The fee for this will be the same as the fee for kitten registrations that appears on our current Scale of Fees.
Microchip Numbers on Registration Certificates
Commencing in January 2020, there will no cost for members wishing to include a Microchip number on the registration certificate of a kitten/cat PROVIDED that the request for the inclusion of the microchip number is made at the same time as the request for another change to the registration details for that kitten/ca (ie kitten registration, title update).

CCCA Update on Cats Vic Inc (CVI)
CCC of A wishes to advise affiliates, and ask that you pass the following to your memberbodies and through them their breeders, that Cats Vic Inc [CVI] is currently under suspension from ACF and will completely cease operations at the end of this month. Further to that, being under the Victorian legislation, no breeder is permitted to sell, lease or give away any cat or kitten unless they, the breeder/s, are members of an Applicable Organisation – CVI is NOT an applicable organisation. Therefore, breeders still affiliated with CVI are not permitted to place their stock unless they join either FCCV or GCCFV who are both Applicable Organisations in Victoria. Please be aware of these rules if you are in discussion with CVI breeders about any purchases, leases or gifts of kittens or cats. Many CVI breeders have transferred to FCCV or GCCFV so although there may be delay in processing theirpaperwork, as long as all is in order, it will come from those who are working with either of these association.

Cats VIC update from ACF
Dear Members
We have received advice from the Australian Cat Federation (ACF) that Cats Victoria Incorporated (an affiliate of ACF) has been suspended under the disciplinary provisions of the ACF Constitution and is currently a member body under suspension.
If you have any queries in relation to this notification, please direct them to our Administrator.














Two days after arriving in Australia in 1969 I purchased a Blue Point Siamese (having shown and bred them in the U.K) I had considerable success in showing and breeding under my prefix of Littlebrook. Later I was given a beautiful Cornish Rex which had considerable success on the show bench and became a Double Grand Champion. Although I am no longer showing or breeding, I enjoy my stewarding and judging assignments. My husband John and I now live in Tumut in the Snowy Mountains, where I hope to maybe breed cats again.
I have been involved in the Cat Fancy since 1984 with my wife, Julie, when we began showing a seal tortie point Siamese, Gd Ch Moovalong Tegan. We have also successfully showed Abyssinians since 1984, branching out into Somalis when we began to show our tawny neuter, Gl Db Gd Ch & CCCA Ch Glordawn Wala (Wally) in 1987. We now show Balinese as well as our lovely Abyssinians and Somalis. Together we also show several companion cats, all of whom have had successful show careers in their own rights.
