History
On 14 June 1946, the precursor of the SACC (South African Cat Union) was founded in Natal, which in 1959 merged into the Associated Cat Clubs of South Africa, the first organisation serving the nationwide South African cat fancy. In 1996, the members overhauled the organisation's structure and constitution, and adopted the name Southern African Cat Council.[2]
SACC joined the World Cat Congress in 2006.
