What is FBE:

FBE is a FIFé cat association (federation under supervision from Mundikat) created for and by cat lovers, breeders and sympathisants of the cat. FBE is at present an association under auspices of FIFe (Fédération international Féline) with as counselor Mundikat (the Netherlands), Felis Belgica is chosen on the General Assembly of Slovakia with a maximum of possible votes, this with thanks to Mundikat and our current President.

Wy FIFe :

Passion for pedigree cats exceeds all country borders, only together we can preserve and improve the pedigree cats worldwide. International cat federations are very important. For this reason Felis Belgica is excited and lucky to have a provisionally membership of the FIFe under guardian from Mundikat.

For this reason there has been consciously chosen for FIFe. FIFe is one of the largest pedigree cat federations of the world. FIFe has been set up in 1949, under the pulse of Madame Marguérite Ravel by three pedigree cat associations from 3 different countries (Belgium-France-Italy). The FIFe has as main reason of existence to unite cat associations, irrespective of their legal form and their country of origin.                                                                                                                    
When Belgium in 1990's stopped with FIFe this was a gap in the cat world. This gap was clearly noticeable in Belgium but also in the neighboring countries such as Germany, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, France and even Denmark, Austria and Swiss noticed this as an important loss. Too many years Belgium had to wait for a FIFe association where all cat lovers could share their cat interest on a high international level. “Felis Belgica”  filled in the dream of many cat lovers, breeders and exposants. With our association: “Felis Belgica” we want to offer an answer to all that time that Belgium has had to do without FIFe. Nowadays 41 countries have been dovetailed FIFe with more than 75000 members.

Every year we plan 2 up to 3 international cat shows to where both national and foreign exposants from all over the world are presented and judged by international FIFe judges.

On our cat shows we expect an average of 400 cats and exposés and a visitor number which hopefully we cross 1000 entrees. These cat shows are organized at internationally interesting and recognizable places.

You are very welcome at one of our next shows. Hope to see you soon.
