Association info
The federation grew considerably over the years. With the acceptance of the Brazilian Clube Brasileiro do Gato in 1972, the FIFE had expanded beyond Europe and thus had to change its name, which it did at the following year's General Assembly, becoming the Federation Internationale Feline (FIFe).

Each of the national members of FIFe retains its own identity, with the FIFe guaranteeing their complete uniformity with cat registrations, shows, judges and judge training.

The accent within FIFe is on healthy and happy cats which is reflected in its rules with their emphasis on health and welfare.
