The Governing Council of the Cat Fancy of South Australia Inc. is the original controlling body and pedigreed cat registry in this state. Through eight affiliated cat clubs, we cater for all cat lovers and owners/breeders of most cat breeds. Our Secretary, Assistant Secretary and Public Relations Officer voluntarily provide our free "information and advice" service, which we advertise weekly, because we all love cats and we want your pet to live a long and happy life. A responsibly owned cat will be a source of pleasure and comfort for many years.

********************

Can we help you?
Do you know what to look for when choosing a kitten?
What is the best way to introduce a new kitten to your home?
Did the breeder of your kitten advise you about feeding,
worming, grooming, vaccinations, flea control, desexing,
identification and other matters?
Are you a RESPONSIBLE PET OWNER, concerned about
giving your pet the best possible care without damaging
the environment or upsetting neighbours?
Or do you need more information to help you to be a good owner?
Do you want to know where to buy a pedigreed kitten,
from a registered breeder?
..... and why buy from a REGISTERED breeder?
Which breed of cat has the temperament that would best
suit your household?
Do you want to find out when and where the next
cat show will be held?
Are you interested in showing your cat, whether
pedigreed or "Domestic"?
Would you like to know more about exhibiting in cat shows?
Are you thinking of becoming a breeder, and in need of
advice or information?
We can provide answers, advice or information on all of these topics,
and more.

As part of our education programme, we provide a series of leaflets which cover various subjects, including: "Not Just for Christmas" or "A Living Gift" (re-titled); "Cats Have 9 Lives, but..." (safety guidelines); "You've Got Personality" (guide to the personalities of the breeds); "A House of His Own"; "Cats & Wildlife - The World is Big Enough for Both" and "Environmentally Friendly Cats" (conservation issues); "Make Me Welcome" (from preparing for a new kitten to the end of his first day); "Breeders' Directory" (lists some of our breeders - it's reproduced here).

Please contact us if you want more information.

In South Australia, we enjoy an excellent relationship with the other major cat control and registry (Feline Association of South Australia Inc.), and the two bodies jointly present the Cat Section of the Royal Agricultural and Horticultural Show each year. There are cat shows almost every week from late February until November, run by affiliated clubs of each body, and the "Governing Council" holds its Annual Golden Awards Show on the first Sunday in July of each year. See dates here.
