Great Lakes Region Home

Welcome to the GREATS! Great cats, great people, great shows. The exhibitors and members of the Great Lakes Region welcome you to our website. The Great Lakes Region is one of eight regions within the Cat Fanciers' Association . We comprise all of Michigan and Ohio, as well as portions of Ontario, Kentucky, New York, Pennsylvania and West Virginia.

The Regional exhibitor/breeders continue to produce some of the very best cats in the world. Great Lakes exhibitors showed their lovely exhibits to a total of 12 National Wins with a few more having been bred by Great Lakes exhibitors and owned/shown by exhibitors in other regions. In addition there were a number of cats earning the coveted Breed Winner award and many who also earned the Distinguished Merit title. Both of these titles are crowning achievements to a breeder. Congratulations to everyone for a great show season. You make us proud.

Once again, the Region has produced outstanding, quality shows with truly beautiful cats. Shows that showed how hard work, team work, sportsmanship and pride continue to come together to produce some of the best shows in CFA.

The Great Lakes Region is also proud to be the home CFA President Jerry Hamza. Jerry took office the end of June 2010 in a time when the country and the Association faced many challenges. Through hard work, dedication and a cadre of individuals who gave willingly of their time and talents, CFA is once again on solid footing and moving toward a time of prosperity, with individual and litter registrations showing significant increases and many new products and services in the works. June 10, 2011 marked the ribbon cutting ceremony for CFA’s new Central Office in a lovely restored bank building in Alliance, Ohio.
