Title edit
Catz Inc. - A New Zealand National Registry for Cats & Cat Shows
Description edit
BEGINNINGS
CATZ Inc was born out of a desire by a small group cat of breeders and fanciers wishing to create a 'centralised and service orientated ' New Zealand National Registry. This registry would be a part and parcel of the greater organisation, which would embrace a new 'inclusive' philosophy on breeding and showing. From conceptualisation in January 2001, to the initial founders meeting and subsequent writing of a founding constitution in February, then to a second meeting and incorporation as a Society, was undertaken in only two months. The Society became a reality on March 5th, 2001. This marked the birth of a new Cat Fancy in New Zealand.
FOUNDATION POLICIES
The 'primary' policies, which would provide both the direction and framework upon which the Society would be built, expressed the perceived needs of a modern cat association. The founders asked of themselves,- "What is it that we wish to preserve?" and "What will help to create an environment conducive to a personal pursuit for excellence, while enhancing friendships, stimulating innovation, as well as building and maintaining integrity?" The answer in part, was to formulate and adopt a set of foundation policies, which would give direction to and be a driving force behind every process within the new organisation. And as these policies were considered 'central' to the principles behind foundation, they were written into the society's Constitution, with the rider that they were non negotiable and could never to be changed.
19.1 CATZ Inc. has been established by individuals wishing to preserve the freedom of individual cat fanciers , to self determine the shape and type of Cat Society best suited to achieve the objects which they hold in common, based upon the principle of ONE PERSON, ONE VOTE.
