La Federation du Livre National des Eleveurs - la Feline

Purpose of the association

To assist in the management of the register and database listing breeders and/or owners and/or those involved in the cat world within France and/or Europe; breed standards are formulated in such a way as to avoid encouraging the selection of anatomical, physiological and behavioural characteristics likely to compromise the health and welfare of offspring and breeding animals, in accordance with Article 5 of the European Convention for Pet Animals; breed standards must be consistent with the international standards of the various authorised cat federations, giving priority, where possible, to the standard of the breed’s country of origin; to contribute to the strategy for the protection and conservation of the feline species by implementing, in particular: the compulsory identification of cats; the recommended neutering of cats (excluding those used for breeding); the qualification of breeding cats; the establishment of a breed conservation programme; the creation of a database of professionals in the cat sector throughout the country; and a policy for managing any recorded genetic diseases
