Welcome to the Norwegian Forest Cat Club
The Norwegian Forest Cat Club has been supporting the Skogkatt in Britain since 1987 — the year the breed gained full championship status with the Governing Council of the Cat Fancy. We are a single-breed GCCF-affiliated club open to breeders, owners, show exhibitors and admirers across the United Kingdom, united by a shared love of the Norwegian Forest Cat and its place in British cat fancy.
We are a friendly group, drawn together by our shared love of this unique breed. Members also have the opportunity to join our AGM, usually held in April or May, which is a great time to catch up on Club news.
About the Norwegian Forest Cat
The Norwegian Forest Cat — the Skogkatt of her homeland — is a natural breed with a long, water-resistant double coat, a strong well-muscled body, almond eyes and a long bushy tail. Gentle, watchful and slow to startle, she makes as good a companion as you will find among the long-haired pedigree breeds.
