• To encourage breeding to standard for both the long-haired and short-haired cat, thereby protecting the integrity of various breeds for future generations.

• To hold sanctioned shows under the rules of the Cat Fanciers' Association, Inc. ("CFA"), thereby providing educational, social and recreational benefits for the community.

• To promote interest in and knowledge of cats, including the proper care and breeding, through educational programs and the dissemination of information.

• To advance in every way possible the interests of cat owners, breeders, and exhibitors and to promote the welfare of all cats.
