BIO:
The Cat Fanciers' Association Foundation, Inc. (CFA Foundation) was founded in 1990 as a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization to collect and record the history of the cat and the cat fancy.
Today, the mission of the CFA Foundation is to acquire and conserve the history of cats and show the development of the cat fancy through the acquisition of fine art, artifacts, and literature. The collection began in 1990 with 100 books, stud books, copies of the CFA Yearbook and various magazines about cats.
Since those humble beginnings, the Foundation's collection has flourished through the acquisition of a great many additional books and magazines, as well as a significant amount of cat show memorabilia. The Foundation also owns a large collection of cat figurines and artwork. Our goal to establish and maintain a museum where our artifacts can be displayed has been realized through the opening of our museum in Alliance,Ohio.
