COAWA has four affiliated cat clubs, a panel of experienced judges including
three all breeds judges and seven sectional judges.  PEDIGREE CATS
COAWA provides all services related to the registration of pedigree cats and
provides the opportunity to meet and interact with other breeders, owners and
other cat lovers. We provide certified pedigrees which, together with our cats
and kittens, are accepted both by overseas and interstate registering bodies,
Our breeders operate under our Code of Ethics and our Breeding Rules and
kittens bought from these breeders are registered.
COMPANION CATS From the beginning COAWA has opened its membership to owners of non-pedigree or
pedigree desexed pet cats. Owners can record their pets in our Companion Cat
Register and enter them for competition in their own Companion Cat Shows or in
special sections at Pedigree Cat shows.  Pets may earn a companion cat title and this has proved an excellent way to
promote better owner responsibility and the desexing of pets
CAT SHOWS Members of affiliated clubs stage a number of Championship and Companion Cat
Shows each year as well as seminars and workshops. They also organise and
participate in the Cat Sections of the Perth Royal Show and the Osborne Park
Agricultural Show. ADMINISTRATION
