Abyssinian Cat Club of Great Britain

The Club was founded in 1929 primarily to promote the pure breeding of the Abyssinian Cat. It was also one of the first members of the Governing Council of the Cat Fancy (GCCF) and therefore has a right in perpetuity to two delegates to represent the Club's interests at Council meetings.

Dr Margaret Frayne has written an interesting essay on the history of the Club. Click here to read it.

COMMITTEE
Click here for details of the present Officers and Committee.

The highlight of the year is our Show, held annually in Stratford-upon-Avon. It is a celebration of the Abyssinian Breed and our semi-longhaired cousins the Somali, and is an ideal place to meet Aby enthusiasts and breeders from all over the country.

We run information tables at some other GCCF championship shows, to provide a meeting point for Club members and information for potential Aby owners, and perhaps even a little profit for the Club's coffers.

Our Club magazine, Papyrus, is distributed twice a year to members, and is full of lively and interesting stories about Abys as well as information and advice.

The Club also participates in the Abyssinian Breed Advisory Committee, which is responsible for setting the Standard of Points and recommending judges for appointment to the GCCF.
