New regulation for the allocation of World shows
The board has decided the following:
- In principle, all clubs are given the opportunity to organize a World Show every two years at the most, but only on condition that no other club in the respective country wants to organize a World Show. If more than one club from the same country applies for a World Show, the allocation will be made in order.
- If the club is a former patronage club that has not been a patronage club yet for a long time before being confirmed as a full member at the General Assembly and has therefore not held all five shows with Supervisor, this club must first complete the five shows with Supervisor before being approved for a World Show.
- At least 80 cats must be present at each World Show.
This board decision, which has the character of a rule, comes into force upon publication and
will be submitted to the next General Assembly for voting.

Statement of the Board
The political promotional video of Mrs. Rudakova has nothing to do with the policy of the WCF.

Restrictions on exhibitions in Russia
Dear members, dear breeders, dear colleagues,
We live in a difficult time, in an age of change.
We hope that the conflict between Russia and Ukraine will be end soon.
The WCF is a peaceful organization, but we also have to follow the laws, as we are an association and have to follow the Statutes. We are not a company, not a commercial organization.
The board of the WCF has decided that due to the ongoing Russian military actions against the Ukraine, no permits for world exhibitions and other exhibitions with special permission will be granted in Russia until further notice.
All approved national and international shows without special permission may continue to take place.
The World Show in Omsk was approved 3 years ago and and for various legal reasons, we do not have the right to cancel it.
In today’s circumstances, when people die every day, it is very difficult for all of us psychologically. But, we must remember that the war will end, and our love is endless. We will continue our work, we will save our little island of goodness and happiness for all of you.
Our appeal to all breeders in this world, please stick together and support each other.
Cats should bring friendship and joy.

Statement & clarification
Dear members, dear breeders, dear colleagues,
I would like to give you a short statement, as unfortunately wrong information from other competitive organizations is spread by Russian TV
For clarification:
WCF continues to work as usual and all clubs can continue as before.
Only World shows and shows with a special permission have been blocked until 31.03.2021.
After that date we have to see what the situation is and if everything can be allowed again.
We all hope that the war will be over soon and the people from Ukraine will be able to return to their previous life without any restrictions.
Please do not listen to any statements or calls, please inform yourself on our website under WCF-Actual.

Restrictions on exhibitions in Russia
Dear WCF members,
the World Cat Federation e.V. is a felinological organization and always stays away from political matters. Nevertheless, the unique geopolitical situation in Europe requires unusual and quick action.
I hereby inform you that all World Shows and exhibitions with special permission (= special license) in Russia will unfortunately be closed from 01.03.2022.
All used license numbers for this purpose will remain saved for the club.
If you have any questions you can contact our Secretary General.
Also no World Shows and exhibitions with special licenses can be provisionally approved for Russia until 31.03.2022. We have to wait until the situation calms down.
Info for our breeders:
The veterinary inspectorates of most EU countries have introduced the temporary derogations allowing refugees to cross the border from Ukraine to most EU countries with their pets; this applies to cats, dogs and ferrets. Pet owners do not have to present the normally required veterinary documents at the border, thus allowing Ukrainian people to enter the EU.
Our thoughts are with our friends and members in Ukraine and their pets during these difficult days.
Let us remember that we share a common passion, let us support peace and let us not create unnecessary divisions. The only acceptable duel is the fight and competition of our beloved cats at our exhibitions.
