The objectives of Felis Britannica, and its member
clubs, are: Individuals do not join Felis Britannica directly – the clubs
are members of the Federation. By joining and belonging to
one of the federated full member clubs you are a member of FELIS
BRITANNICA and also a FIFe member's member. Registrations are submitted via full member clubs, who will
check the submission before passing it onto Felis Britannica.
The federated clubs also handle validations, and organise shows. Felis Britannica is the central registry, and will authorise
licenses for all services - it is the umbrella organisation
representing all its federated clubs to the FIFe, both on an
ongoing basis and at the FIFe General Assembly. Each club will represent its individual members and decisions
within the federation will only be taken after a democratic
ballot of the federated clubs. The Executive Committee
manages Felis Britannica business on a day-to-day basis and is
elected by the clubs and will be accountable to those clubs (and
through them to the individual members). FELIS BRITANNICA clubs run shows under the FIFe open doors
policy (FIFe Show Rules, Annex 2). This means that you do
NOT have to be a FIFe member in order to exhibit at a club show
provided your cats are registered with a reputable registering
organisation e.g. all cats previously registered with the CA
will be immediately eligible to enter a Felis Britannica club
show without re-registering.
