MEMBERSHIP INFORMATION

SBA is part of the British federation of cat clubs under the umbrella of the newly formed organization "Felis Britannica", the recently appointed probationary member of the world wide Fédération Internationale Féline ("FIFe").

SBA may hold FIFe National and International Championship cat shows; receive registration applications and process Championship and Premiership validations from SBA club members.

Anyone is invited to join the SBA, regardless of his or her specific interest in cats or the region in which you live and you do not even need to own a cat to be a member. Owners of any breed or any colour of cat, including rescued cats or those with disabilities are welcome without prejudice though not all will be eligible for showing under FIFe rules.

Full Membership of the SBA

A list of SBA members is submitted to the FB and these members are regarded as Full Members. As a Full Member of SBA you can register your cats and kittens of any breed with FIFe approved pedigrees, claim your FIFe titles and show your cats at any FIFe show. You do not need to do anything more or to join any other club. A fee of £2.00 per person is required to be paid by the SBA to the FB for these privileges. Registration application forms are available from the SBA Secretary.

Associate Membership of the SBA

SBA members not included on the list of SBA members submitted to the FB are regarded as "Associate Members". Associate Members of SBA do not take advantage of registration services or titles claims through the SBA and therefore no fee is payable by the SBA to the FB for these members.

If you wish to be added to the list of Full Members or deleted from it please notify the SBA Secretary.

Birthday Cats!

Annual SBA membership entitles each household to nominate one cat to receive a special birthday card on his or her birthday.

Showing

In the first instance any cat or kitten may be shown at any show organised by the SBA or by any member club of the "Felis Britannica" so long as the cat or kitten is registered with a bona-fide cat registry such as the GCCF, TICA, or CFA.

Anyone wishing to qualify their cats for FIFe titles must be a member of either the SBA or one of the federation clubs.

The Scottish Fold

The club’s mascot is the endearing Scottish Fold cat – a rare breed first found in Coupar Angus in 1961 and now the national feline emblem of Scotland.

Distinguished by its uniquely "folded over" ears this miniature Labrador of the cat world can regrettably, following a FIFe decision, no longer be shown at SBA (FIFe) shows! In accordance with the directive of SBA’s AGM 2003 the club will provide information where available regarding show opportunities, seminars, etc. within other associations so that members may learn more about this breed and have the opportunity to show their cats under the FIFe ‘Open Doors’ policy.

SBA is available to offer advice and provide a breed standard/breeding policy designed to encourage the responsible breeding of this special cat. Members are asked to be sympathetic with the promotion of the Scottish breeds catered for by the Association.
