In 2011, CFA instituted a brand new title — the Grand of Distinction.
To earn the title, a cat must receive a minimum of 30 finals over each of 3 separate show seasons.
The show seasons do not have to be consecutive, and can be earned in either Championship (GCD) or Premiership (GPD).
For more details, see our article Grand of Distinction: A New Title in CFA.
The very first cat of any breed to earn the award in CFA was an Exotic Shorthair — a Brown McTabby & White neuter named GC, GPD, NW Ivy Cat Quarterback. Read his story here . . .
The first Devon Rex to earn the Grand of Distinction title was GC, GPD, RW Derry-Hill Lovie's Little Kiwi, bred by the incomparable Gerri Logan, C. Hasay and C. Curran. Kiwi was owned and shown by Carolyn C. Jimenez and Kristin Nowell. Carolyn & Kristin also bred and campaigned GCD, RW Ready Or Not Poptart II, the first Devon Rex to earn the Grand of Distinction title in Championship.
Listed below are the Devon Rex winners of the Grand of Distinction title to-date; separated by year, and listed in the order that they earned their title.
