Who we are?
Cat Fancier’s & Clubs Association CFCA Latvija is the official representative of the Federation Internationale Feline (FiFe) in Latvia. The International Federation FIFe was founded in 1949 and has more than 100,000 individual members throughout Europe, Scandinavia, Great Britain, Asia and South America. CFCA Association includes more than 140 individual members with more than 50 catteries. A total of 22 breeds are represented. On average, more than 250 litters are registered per year. We also have breeders of very rare breeds worldwide: Chartreux cats, American curls, Thai and Egyptian Maus.
The show format and place?
The show will be held on February 22 and 23, at the Shopping Mall Domina. Free parking is provided for participants and guests. The format of this show is that all breed groups are divided into show days, and participants will be able to receive two certificates on each day. Such exhibitions usually have a maximum number of participants, since the usual two-day program can be carried out in one day. On the other hand, such an exhibition is interesting for guests, as they can meet previously unseen breeders and cats.
What to await?
Thanks to the format of the show, we expect 200 cats from the Baltic, Scandinavian, and other European countries.
This type of exhibition is a great opportunity to meet and talk to breeders, cat lovers, and their potential owners in person. We will ensure that your prizes are presented in the best possible way. In addition, we are interested in long-term cooperation and are ready to build long-term, strong relationships in other joint projects as well. Keep in mind that rewards can be anything that you consider valuable to the cat owner or their owner.
