The CFA Foundation: Recent Acquisitions
What are we looking for? Many of us have
collected cat memorabilia over the years. Some valuable, very valuable only
to us. Works of art, paintings, sculptures and other cat collectibles
(ceramic cats, cats as toys, cats at Christmas and other festivals, wooden,
metal, glass cats, and cats in advertising are a few examples) are all needed
to build a comprehensive collection of cat artifacts.
If you are interested in contributing to the history of the cat maintained by the CFA Foundation, please email CFA at cfa@cfa.org
Our latest acquisitions include the following. Each photo is linked to a larger image file.
