The Cat Fanciers' Association (CFA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to the welfare and promotion of purebred cats. Founded in 1906, it is one of the oldest and largest cat registries in the world. The CFA sets standards for various cat breeds and organizes cat shows, where breeders and owners can showcase their felines. In addition to breed standards, the CFA provides resources for cat owners, including information on responsible breeding and care. The organization also advocates for the health and well-being of cats, supporting initiatives that promote responsible pet ownership and the importance of spaying and neutering.
