Kathy Black, an all-breed judge from the Cat Fanciers’ Association (CFA) for the past 19 years, joins Stacy in this episode. Kathy has bred and shown cats for 30 years, and she also chairs the CFA’s Companion Cat World (CCW), a program that celebrates rescued and non-pedigreed cats around the world.
Kathy shares a bit of the CFA’s history with Stacy, and explains that even though the CFA is “mostly a registry of pedigreed cats, we have always been there to enhance the well-being of all cats and promote education, responsible cat ownership, and proper care for millions of cats worldwide.” CFA’s goal is to reach out to the cat people out there who have never heard of them and let them know who they are, what they stand for, and what they work for.
Stacy and Kathy go on to discuss the CFA’s thoughts on cat overpopulation issues around the world, including how they promote spay/neuter while also working to protect and preserve breeds. They talk about how the coronavirus pandemic has affected CFA, how CFA supports rescue groups, and their anti-declawing stance.
