List of cat registries

This is a complete list of cat registries worldwide. A cat registry's purpose is to register purebred cats which are recognized by the organization. The first cat registry was the National Cat Club, set up in 1887 in England. The Governing Council of the Cat Fancy was established in 1910. The National Cat Club was also the governing body of the cat fancy. Another registry called the Cat Club was started in 1898.[1]
