I am planning to have a cat, how can I find out about the show?

Unique in France! Paris Animal Show is above all the place where 1 000 Breed Cats will be present, not only from all France, but also from abroad in order to participate in several beauty contests under the aegis of 3 international federations, including of course France. This will allow you to discover about forty breeds, some of which are not very well known such as the Toyger, the Miniature Tiger, the Devon Rex and the Sphynx of course.

If you have the project to welcome one of these superb cats, it will be the unique opportunity to compare the different breeds, to discuss with the different breeders and to finally make your choice with full knowledge of the facts. In order to avoid impulse purchases, with the regrets that this could cause and for the greater good of the animal, only the reservation will be possible with the breeder, it will be for him the occasion to advise you and to explain you the new "Certificate of Commitment and Knowledge" that you must now have as a buyer of a cat. You will have a minimum of 7 days to think about it.

A breed club is an association devoted to the management and promotion of a breed or a group of related breeds. He takes care of both the standard (description of the ideal cat) and the health issues specific to his breed(s). Its purpose is to disseminate information to both breeders and future buyers. 40 breed club clubs are affiliated with LOOF. There may be several for the same breed but they "follow" the same standard and the same breeding qualification system.

Authorized in 1996 by the Ministry of Agriculture to publish the pedigrees of purebred cats born in France, the LOOF (Official Book of Feline Origins) brings together the actors of French feline breeding. In addition to keeping the Genealogical Book, it has, among other things, the keeping of standards in collaboration with the affiliated breed clubs, the management and development of genetic resources (qualification of breeding animals and genetic diseases), the training of judges, the training of breeders, the information of the public and the buyer.
