CCCA Update on Cats Vic Inc (CVI)

CCC of A wishes to advise affiliates, and ask that you pass the following to your memberbodies and through them their breeders, that Cats Vic Inc [CVI] is currently under suspension from ACF and will completely cease operations at the end of this month. Further to that, being under the Victorian legislation, no breeder is permitted to sell, lease or give away any cat or kitten unless they, the breeder/s, are members of an Applicable Organisation - CVI is NOT an applicable organisation. Therefore, breeders still affiliated with CVI are not permitted to place their stock unless they join either FCCV or GCCFV who are both Applicable Organisations in Victoria. Please be aware of these rules if you are in discussion with CVI breeders about any purchases, leases or gifts of kittens or cats. Many CVI breeders have transferred to FCCV or GCCFV so although there may be delay in processing theirpaperwork, as long as all is in order, it will come from those who are working with either of these association.
