Now that Russian cats are banned from international competitions, does the world feel safer? Doubtful.
The International Cat Federation issued a statement announcing its shock and horror “that the army of the Russian Federation invaded the Republic of Ukraine and started a war.”
Prompted by the tragic events unfolding in Ukraine, FIFe took action. It will not permit “cats bred in Russia to be imported and registered in any FIFe pedigree book outside Russia, regardless of which organization issued its pedigree.” Also, cats with Russian exhibitors will not be allowed to register for shows organized outside of Russia.
The Board will revisit the restriction on May 31, 2022.
