ACT Cat Alliance is the ACT Region of the Australian National Cats Inc (ANCats)

"Where the cats are always the Winners!"

We represent ANCats in the ACT region. We're one of the eight regions that comprise the ANCats and we're responsible for ACT regional affairs.

ANCats strives to be a totally professional organisation responsive to the needs of all cats - their owners, breeders and exhibitors.

ANCats is Australia's first national cat registering group for cat shows, a group that is growing faster each month. ANCats has a culture that encourages every member to participate in all activities and every effort is made to ensure that you enjoy yourself.

Wherever you live in this great country there is a Waratah member close by who will be happy to assist you with your fantastic hobby of cat showing and breeding.
 

ACTCat Position Statement

 

We at ACTCat believe that cat breeding and exhibiting is a recreational hobby to be enjoyed by individuals and families alike. ACTCat embraces the philosophy that breeders and exhibitors should be able to register and show their cats with any registry they so choose, without fear or restriction, limitation or compromise. The imposition of restrictions and/or limitations is for self-serving interests, rather than for the promotion of the genuine love of cats or the true spirit of sportsmanship.   We believe in freedom of choice
