Welcome!

The members and clubs 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.

We are proud to boast that our Great Lakes Region clubs put on 39 shows in the 2008-2009 show season, held in all areas of the Region. Our cats are among the best in CFA. In the 2008-2009 show season, 17 Great Lakes Region cats earned the title of National Winner (three in Championship, seven Kittens and seven in Premiership). Be sure to visit our Top Cats/Regional Winners link to see these lovely cats!

You will find our show schedule, with links to many show flyers. You will also find Regional meeting dates and locations pre-noticed on the site, as well as minutes of our recent meetings and Regional/Annual Meeting News.

The Great Lakes Region hosted the 2008 CFA Annual meeting, in Louisville, Kentucky. This event has been hailed by many as one of the best CFA Annual Meetings in recent memories. Using the theme “Run for the Roses”, the members and clubs of this region out did themselves in a truly spectacular event. Special thanks to Annual chair, JoAnn Cummings, and the many who worked so hard to make this happen. You made the region proud!

You will also find a Regional directory. Check out our show photos, contact our clubs and members and join us in the rewarding and fascinating hobby of showing and breeding pedigreed cats.

GREAT, GREAT, GREAT describes us well for our cats, our shows, our exhibitors and our clubs. We invite you to join us at a show in your area and experience the cooperation, pride and love of our hobby that make the Great Lakes Region the GREATEST region in CFA. Great cats, great people, great shows. Come and enjoy.
