Governing Council of the Cat Fancy
The GCCF also co-ordinates its own show: the Supreme Cat Show, which is famous for being the world's largest cat show and the feline equivalent of Crufts. Special awards of UK and Supreme Champion can be gained at this show only. The GCCF offices are based in Bridgwater and are staffed by twelve people who deal with registrations, publications, show processing & title claims, agendas & minutes and correspondence from breeders, exhibitors, Clubs, Breed Advisory Committees and the general public. They also deal with complaints and breaches of rules, which can sometimes result in disciplinary action and even suspension from Cat Fancy activities. The GCCF is a member of the Cat Group and the World Cat Congress. The official publication of the GCCF is Our Cats. In July 2007, the GCCF Executive Committee voted to switch to a new publication which had been planned to become the official publication of the GCCF from February 2008 named Fancy That. However, at a meeting of the full GCCF Council on October 24th 2007, this decision was rescinded by a resounding majority of those cat club delegates present. Our Cats remains the official journal of the GCCF. The GCCF has set up its own charity: The Cat Welfare Trust [1], which uses funds raised through the GCCF to find ways of improving the welfare of cats. To date the trust has granted thousands of pounds into key research projects in ringworm vaccination, the feline genome and chronic gingivo-stomatitis in cats. Additional recommended knowledge
