a CFA affiliated cat club founded 1946
Who are we?
San Diego Cat Fanciers, Inc., is a nonprofit public benefit corporation, devoted to the welfare of cats. We are a member club of the Cat Fanciers' Association, Inc.(CFA), and are the oldest CFA club in the Southwest. San Diego Cat Fanciers was formed in the late 1940's by a small group of dedicated people who wanted to share their love of cats, both pedigreed and non-pedigreed, with others.
Where does the money come from?
While San Diego Cat Fanciers gratefully accepts corporate and individual donations, more than 95% of our income comes from production of educational events, such as our cat shows. Along with other charitable and educational events, San Diego Cat Fanciers has put on a yearly cat show to benefit organizations also dedicated to the welfare of these special companions.
Where does the money go?
San Diego Cat Fanciers, Inc., is a nonprofit public benefit corporation devoted to the welfare of cats. All of the net proceeds of our cat shows go to the benefit of our furry companions. It should be noted that we have no paid officers, directors or employees. Each and every member of San Diego Cat Fanciers donates his or her time, talent and skills, without charge, so that all of the proceeds of our shows may be used to benefit the cats.
In the past few years, our cat shows have provided cash grants for such specific projects as remodeling the kitten adoption room at the Helen Woodward Animal Center, rebuilding the surgical suite at Friends of Cats, a new roof for the National Cat Protection Society shelter, the "Save Our Strays" national tour, and providing an industrial size autoclave and other medical supplies to the Feral Cat Coalition. We have also provided direct cash funding for the following organizations:
