Association info |
| The WCF was founded on 1988 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil by three clubs which were seeking for more democratic and human procedures in the cat fancy, more than other existing federations ever had. Right now the WCF consists of more than 540 clubs throughout the world covering all continents including the Untited States. The WCF is registered in Germany as "eingetragener Verein" and - when European community is ready - in Brussel as an European federation, too. The WCF takes part at consultations, arranged by the European parlament in Strasbourg, and is responsible for animal welfare and legislation in some working parties and hearing. A WCF member, wether it is a club or a federation, is independent in his business. The WCF's responsibilities are ... * international cattery registration * education, training and examination of the international judges * standards and points * giving rules and classes at shows * international liaisons |
