FeedStrayCats currently catalogs 106 cat breeds. This complete directory is a reconciled synthesis of the breed systems used by the Cat Fanciers’ Association (CFA), The International Cat Association (TICA), and Fédération Internationale Féline (FIFe), supplemented by additional authoritative registry evidence where necessary.
Creating the list required more than simply combining registry names. The registries sometimes use different names for the same breed, recognize different breeds, assign different recognition levels, or treat a coat variety, division or closely related population differently. FeedStrayCats therefore compared the systems breed by breed, reconciled aliases and overlapping identities, preserved meaningful distinctions, and established one canonical FeedStrayCats identity for each breed in this directory.
106 is the current FeedStrayCats catalog count produced by this reconciliation methodology; it is not a claim that exactly 106 cat breeds exist worldwide. Read more about how the complete cat breed list was built →
