    CFA Approved Cattery Environment Program

    A cattery environment inspection program exists for catteries registered with The Cat Fanciers' Association, Inc. (CFA). A cattery is a mutiple-cat household maintained for the purpose of perpetuating and protecting the heritage and desirable traits of the various breeds of pedigreed cats. The program, which went into effect on July 1, 1992 offers CFA registered catteries an opportunity to voluntarily participate in the CFA Approved Cattery Environment Program(ACEP).

    The cattery inspections are conducted by licensed veterinarians, using criteria established by CFA. The ACEP program has two tiers: "CFA Approved Cattery" and "CFA Cattery of Excellence". The inspection and approval process encompasses the environmental conditions of the cattery.
