For short WCF, is a global operating federation of cat clubs.
The WCF is registered as an international federation at the registration court in Germany.
The current president is Anneliese Hackmann in Essen.
Currently 280 associations worldwide are affiliated with the WCF.
The WCF has already successfully participated in legislative procedures, among others at the European Parliament in Strasbourg for the development of animal welfare laws, and has joint responsibility for the development of animal welfare legislation within the framework of working groups and parliamentary hearings.
In general, the WCF serves to enable the affiliated cat clubs to make international contacts.
Our WCF members – regardless of whether they are single clubs or federations – are independent in their activities.
