It was founded in 1988 in the city of Rio de Janeiro, and operates worldwide with a strong presence in Asia, Latin America, and Eastern and Western Europe. It is currently based in Germany with Anneliese Hackmann from Essen as president. There are 370 member organisations worldwide associated to the WCF. The WCF is one of the nine members of the World Cat Congress, making it one of the major and reputable cat registries for pedigree registration of cat breeds worldwide.
The WCF allows the breeders and breeder clubs of the WCF affiliated member clubs to register the pedigrees and cattery names internationally. The WCF creates breed standards for the 68 pedigreed breeds of cats recognised by the federation. They also train judges for exhibitions and organise the show examinations. Generally, the WCF is designed to promote international contact of the affiliated member clubs.
The WCF comprises over 10,000 breeders/catteries registered (not all are active members); 66 national member organisations (plus 64 provisional); 370 breeder clubs (over 500 counting sub-clubs); average of over 500 shows per year; 111 breeds listed as recognised or accepted (as of 2020).
