behaviour panel
In December 2006, fab joined forces with the top feline behaviourists in the UK to form the fab behaviour panel. The panel meets several times a year to combine expertise and work on a wide range of behavoiur issues.
The Cat Group, launched in 2000, is a collection of professional organisations dedicated to feline welfare through the development and promotion of policies and recommendations on the care and keeping of all cats
The European Society of Feline Medicine (ESFM) was established by fab in 1996 as an organisation to provide a focus for veterinarians with a special interest in feline medicine throughout Europe.
The fab feline expert panel consisits of the country's leading feline experts, brought together to exchange information on the latest developments in feline medicine, with the aim of providing answers and advice for those in the front line of veterinary practice.
The core group of the fab feline expert panel consists of current and recent past fab funded post holders. The panel is also developing a list of feline speakers from all over the world who can input on specific topics.
The fab feline veterinary federation (FVF) is an international collaboration of veterinary feline groups. Veterinary cat groups from Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Spain, Italy and Scandanavian countries have met and agreed on a way forward.
The aim of the fab fvf is to enhance the contacts and collaboration between fab (including its specialised veterinary division, the European Society of Feline Medicine (ESFM)) and other veterinary feline study groups, initially in Europe. It is hoped that it will eventually incorporate groups from all over the world. The main objectives of the FVF will be to help improve the welfare of pet cats, increase the profile and membership of the various member groups and to pool and share information on feline health and welfare.
