In 2011, CFA instituted a brand new title — the Grand of Distinction.

In order 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 or Premiership.

For more details, see our article Grand of Distinction: A New Title in CFA.

The very first cat of any breed to earn the prestigious 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 Turkish Angora to earn this title was GPD, NW Folie A Deux Helena of Spunky Paws, a Blue Spotted Tabby & White Turkish Angora spay, bred by T. Scott, B. I. Tanner and R. Zinck, and owned and shown by Elaine Dawson & Sarah Sieffert.

This beautiful girl is the only Turkish Angora to date that has earned this prestigious title in CFA.
