Great Lakes Region Home

Welcome to the GREATS! Great cats, great people, great shows. The exhibitors and members of the Great Lakes Region welcome you to our website. The Great Lakes Region is one of eight regions within the Cat Fanciers' Association . We comprise all of Michigan and Ohio, as well as portions of Ontario, Kentucky, New York, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. The Great Lakes Region is also proud to be the "home" of CFA's Central Office in a lovely restored bank building in Alliance, Ohio.

The Regional exhibitor/breeders continue to produce some of the very best cats in the world. Great Lakes exhibitors showed their lovely exhibits to a total of nine breed winners, that coveted title of BW that becomes part of a cat’s name. We have the breed winners in LH American Bobtail, Silver/Golden Persian Division, Abyssinian, Cornish Rex, European Burmese, SH Japanese Bobtail, Oriental SH, Russian Blue and LH Scottish Fold. The Great Lakes Region is also home to ten cats claiming National Winner titles: one cat in Championship, three kittens and six cats in Premiership. Among those cats are CFA’s 2nd Best Cat, 3rd Best Kitten and 4th Best Cat in Premiership. Congratulations to everyone for a great show season. You make us proud.

Once again, the Region has produced outstanding, quality shows with truly beautiful cats. Shows that showed how hard work, team work, sportsmanship and pride continue to come together to produce some of the best shows in CFA.
