Association info
|
The federation grew considerably over the years. With the acceptance of the Brazilian Clube Brasileiro
do Gato in 1972, the FIFE had expanded beyond Europe and thus had to change its name, which it did at the
following year's General Assembly, becoming the Federation Internationale Feline (FIFe).
Each of the national members of FIFe retains its own identity, with the FIFe guaranteeing their complete
uniformity with cat registrations, shows, judges and judge training.
The accent within FIFe is
on healthy and happy cats which is reflected in its rules with their emphasis on health and welfare.
