A leading animal rescuer with shelter,Goa says, " I think this is quite disturbing. The Championship Cat Show in Panjim scheduled on 14th dec 2025. A breeders paradise, while there are more than 20,000 desi cats suffering on the streets of Goa, not to mention the hundreds of kittens that die every month .
Another NGO in Goa, which works for cats and his says:: Sadly nothing can be done. The main body responsible for the organization and regulation of cat shows in India is the Feline Club of India (FCI)
@FelineClubIndia, which is the country's only active cat registry dedicated to the improvement of cat fancy in India. The FCI runs numerous regional clubs and conducts various events, including:
Cat Shows: These events showcase different cat breeds and help promote high breeding standards and healthy competition.
Conventions: Informative seminars on feline health, nutrition, diseases, and breed orientation are held across the country.
Registration Drives: The FCI is actively involved in the registration of cats and the issuance of breed authentication and ownership certificates, a key step in ancestral tracking.
To participate in an FCI-organized cat show, owners are typically required to register their cat with the organization. The FCI is affiliated with international bodies like the World Cat Federation (
@wcf_ev) and The International Cat Association (
@TICAcats), ensuring shows adhere to global standards.
The legality of all animal-related events falls under the purview of the Animal Welfare Board of India (
@animalwelfareb1), which is the statutory advisory body on animal welfare laws in the country.
.....
Now my question to AWBI, when you allow such brazen breeders Paradize Cat shows, don't you have any commitment towards lakhs of Indi(Desi)-cats suffering on the streets of India, not to mention the hundreds of kittens that die every month? When such hyped Cat shows of breed cats are allowed in this country who will stand up and care for Desi cats? Is it not your responsibility? You will only wake up to this issue when some people go to the Supreme Court and another order comes?
Or you also believe that while this money game is on by breeders, the State governments only are accountable to look after , subsidised facilities for Desi cats?
Please wake up to the plight of Desi cats and stop allowing such exclusive breed cats shows....In our country, the masses are not aware, they fall for such hyped glamour shows. Demonstration effect guides actions of the masses. You have a role here as a regulator!!!
