Feline Friendship Advisory Panel (FFAP)

Feline Friendship Advisory Panel (FFAP)®

Crafting the Purr-fect Cat Community

At LCWW®, we believe every meow matters! That’s why the Feline Friendship Advisory Panel (FFAP)® exists—to ensure our cat shows and community events are welcoming, fair, and pawsitively fabulous for all.

Who Are the FFAP®?

The FFAP® is a dedicated group of passionate cat lovers, breeders, rescue advocates, and feline experts from around the world. This panel is the heart and whiskers behind the rules and regulations that guide our Catstravaganza® shows and the Loving Cats Worldwide® community.

What Does the FFAP® Do?

- **Creates & Updates Rules:** The FFAP® crafts, reviews, and refines the official guidelines that keep our events safe, inclusive, and fun for every cat and human.
- **Ensures Fair Play:** From breed standards to show etiquette, the panel sets clear, consistent expectations so everyone—pedigreed or rescue, kitten or senior—has the chance to shine.
- **Listens to the Community:** We’re all about community meowgic! The FFAP® welcomes feedback and ideas from exhibitors, rescues, catteries, and cat lovers everywhere.
- **Promotes Education:** The panel helps develop educational resources and presentations to spread pawsitive knowledge about feline welfare, responsible breeding, and rescue advocacy.

Why Does It Matter?

Having a transparent, passionate advisory panel means that every whisker-twitch and tail-flick is considered with care. The FFAP® ensures that LCWW® stays true to its mission: celebrating all cats, building a supportive feline family, and making every event a purr-fect experience.
