World Cat Congress

World Cat Congress

In 1994 the Italian cat club, Associazione Nazionale Felina Italiana, organised a cat club seminar during which a meeting was held between the visiting heads of world cat organisations. Out of this grew the idea of a World Cat Congress. The purpose of the WCC is to promote better understanding and co-operation among the world's various cat associations in matters of mutual interest and concern. Following this, regular meetings took place and in 1999 a charter was drawn up and in 2001 a constitution was agreed.

The WCC emphasises the importance of international co-operation between cat organisations and to discuss topics such as veterinary matters, microchipping, breed presentations, cat legislation and feline welfare affecting all cat lovers, from the pedigree breeder to pet owners.
