WCF

Welcome

to the website of the World Cat Federation eV

The World Cat Federation eV, just WCF, is an international association of cat clubs, which is registered in Germany. There are 370 organizations worldwide associated to WCF. President is currently Anneliese Hackmann from Essen. The WCF has been successfully working on the development of animal protection laws in European Parliament in Strasbourg.

The WCF allows the breeders of affiliated clubs to register their kennel names internationally. They created standards for pedigreed cats of which she has currently published 61. The WCF trains judges for exhibitions and organizes the examines. The WCF has established exhibition rules that determine both the sequence of an exhibition, and the division of the cats in separate classes. Generally, the WCF is designed to promote international contacts of the cat clubs affiliated. Our new logo depicts the six continents on which the WCF has members. The rain-bowcoloured continents are framed by our premise.  

The rainbow is a symbolic bridge between the 6 continents on which the WCF is established. It signifies acceptance of the diversity of life together with the common bond of love of cats. That is what makes the WCF so special.
