A warm welcome from our committee
Our Chairperson's warm welcome

Welcome to the website of the Feline Fan Club of Southern Africa; simply know as FFC.
One of the main objectives of having cat shows in South Africa is to enable breeders to showcase there beautiful cats and set a standard, outlined by the CFSA Standard Of Points, for the progression of pedigreed cats.
Its an opportunity for everyone to come together as a passionate and dedicated fancy to appreciate there specific breed and enjoy the day in a competitive outline of achieving greatness in there specific breed.
The Feline Fan Club of Southern Africa allows our breeders the platform of achieving this and we are very proud of producing shows that are fun, well managed and professional.
Judges are invited from firstly our affiliated society, CFSA and then various other Societies to judge the various breeds in each category and award a cat or kitten an award that is specifically outlined by a set of standards.
This is of utmost importance to make sure that breeders are breeding Pedigreed cats to a World Standard set of SOP's.
At the same time it also gives the general public an opportunity to come and view beautiful, well bred cats and an opportunity to converse with reputable breeders.
~Reputable breeders are those breeders that only breed to firstly keep the ongoing maintenance, love and care of there feline family, there cattery overheads and secondly the progression of there specific breed.
We do not breed for the financial gain; as a well run, ethical catteries do not make money and if they cover there costs in any given breeding season; we are happy.~
Not forgetting the stunning and lovable domestic cats that have there own category to show case there stunning patterns, colors and most importantly outgoing and loving personalities.
This category only allows sterilized cats that are registered with our CFSA registrar to make sure that we as a fancy and society do not encourage the ever increasing population of unwanted and feral cats.
Feline Fan Club invite you to join our fun filled club and join in on our show days with your beautiful kittens and cats to learn and progress in this wonderful world of feline fun.
Please contact any one of our committee members who will gladly assist you and should you require mentorship as a first time breeder or show home, we will happily assist you in this amazing journey we all love.

The Feline Fan Club of South Africa was formed in 2000 with the objective of the Club to encourage and support firstly, the ethical breeding of pedigreed cats in Southern Africa, by means of affiliation to the Cat Federation of Southern Africa (CFSA) as well as striving to encourage and support members and non-members to show both pedigreed and non-pedigreed cats in our shows held by the Club, as well as other CFSA affiliated clubs.
FFC is known for hosting well-organised, fun filled and successful shows enjoyed equally by exhibitors, judges and visitors. None of the milestones mentioned would have been possible without the hard work of the small but dedicated committee for which I extend my sincere gratitude. It would not have been possible either without the the advice, guidance, initiative and support of our previous Chair, Priscilla du Plessis in 2009 and 2010, who since
relocated to Durban.
To our sponsor since 2011, Royal Canin, a heart-felt thank you - your commitment to the cat fancy in general is vital to making our shows so successful. You are truly appreciated.
Looking forward to 2019 and wishing all exhibitors success on the show bench!
