Abyssinian Cat Club of America

Welcome to the home page of the Abyssinian Cat Club of America (ACCA).

The ACCA exists to promote informed breeding and ownership of Abyssinians, and membership is not restricted to US residents - in fact, overseas members are made particularly welcome! The ACCA has a Code of Ethics which members are required to sign, which helps to maintain high standards of owner and breeder responsibility.

The ACCA also produces a quarterly newsletter for all its members, always eagerly awaited for its articles, both regular (sample article) and specials (sample article), show reports, photographs and advertisements.
