Who are UMCFA?
United Maine C**n Fanciers of Australia was established in 2001 and is the original and oldest Breed Association of the Maine C**n cat in Australia. UMCFA began as a dedicated group of early breeders who shared a common passion for introducing Australia to these majestic, gentle giants of the Cat Fancy. They committed at great personal expense, to importing cats from health tested lines from around the world to be the foundation of the Maine C**n cat in Australia. UMCFA’s early mission was to ethically breed healthy kittens who were a true representative of the breed standard as first established officially in 1976 in the cat’s native country of The United States. Health testing of all breeding cats and breeding true to type was foundational to all they did. Breeder Members of UMCFA all made a commitment upon joining UMCFA to heart test for Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM), and x-ray for Hip Dysplasia (HD). Their steadfast commitment to increase the limited gene pool by regularly importing new tested lines and establish a health and testing results database for early breeders to work with ensured the breed's early and rapid success in Australia. UMCFA’s founding members are those who, today, we can thank for the Maine C**n cat being one of Australia's most popular breeds. Time went by, many of UMFCA’s early breeders retired, and for a period of years UMCFA became inactive. In early April 2020, a fresh group of breeders began discussing the need for a National Breed Association. They turned to UMCFA and thank the original members who gave their blessing for UMCFA to become our National Breed Association for the Maine C**n cat. Our current members, both Breeder and Pet Owner wish to acknowledge and honour the wonderful legacy UMCFA’s founders have left for us to continue working with today and building upon into the future.
