Show your support for all things feline and become a member of fab!

who can join?

Anyone can become a member of fab – we have members who are involved with cats on every level – vets, vet nurses, breeders, those working in rescue, cattery proprietors, cat owners and cat enthusiasts. You don’t even have to own a cat, just have a strong interest in their health and welfare and want to learn more.

why join?

As an fab member you benefit from finding out first hand about new discoveries and treatments for cats and gain a unique insight into what makes cats tick. FAB members also have the pleasure of knowing that their contribution to fab’s work will improve the health and welfare of cats in the years to come by supporting the continuing study of feline disease and welfare.

fab membership is available for the individual, cat clubs (Affiliate) and veterinary practices (Practice).

We also offer a joint membership of fab and the European Society of Feline Medicine (esfm) for veterinary practitioners.
