Chickadee Cat Club

The Chickadee Cat Club was founded in 2005 as a chartered club of the American Cat Fanciers Association (ACFA). We aim to bring awareness of responsible cat ownership and kindness to all animals through monthly meetings with guest speakers who widen our knowledge in all things related to CATS.  We reach the public with our message of awareness at mall displays, in various community activities, in school programs, and with seniors in pet therapy programs.  We believe that through education and awareness we can instill the knowledge needed to be responsible cat owners and improve our relationship with cats.

The Aims of the Chickadee Cat Club are:

• To sponsor and promote the welfare of all cats.

• To cultivate friendships among and promote the interest of owners, fanciers, and breeders of cats in the Atlantic Provinces and neighbouring regions.

• To encourage kindness to all animals, assisting in the prevention of cruelty and maltreatment of animals.

• To hold cat shows and promote interest in and knowledge of purebred cats, and to encourage ethical breeding towards ACFA Standards of Perfection and to encourage the registration of cats with ACFA.

The Chickadee Cat Club Accomplishes its Aims by:

• Holding meetings that provide a forum for sharing cat experiences and information about cat health and well-being.

• Introducing the aims and goals of the Chickadee Cat Club to the public and promoting responsible cat ownership by educating about the importance of spaying and neutering pet cats and responsible breeding practices.

• Supporting SPCAs and other animal rescue and welfare organizations.

• Sharing our love of cats with Seniors through the conduct of a Cat Therapy Program.

• Educating elementary and middle school students on responsible pet ownership.

• Sponsoring cat shows for registered purebred cats and household pets.

• Conducting fundraising activities to assist in achieving the Club’s aims.
