What does AACE mean in ASSOCIATIONS

The American Association of Cat Enthusiasts strives to promote responsible pet ownership and the health and welfare of cats in the United States by providing educational resources and awareness to cat owners, shelters, veterinarians and other professionals who work with cats.

AACE offers a variety of educational materials such as webinars, articles, books, newsletters, videos, podcasts and more designed to help cat owners better understand their feline companions. They also offer workshops for shelters workers and educators on topics such as understanding behavior issues in cats or different ways to enrich their lives.

As part of its mission to promote responsible pet ownership and provide resources to further cat welfare, AACE offers free webinars for shelter workers that cover topics such as how to evaluate potential adopters or best practices on how to handle behavioral problems in newly adopted cats.

Yes! The annual “Cat Mission Awards” program recognizes shelters that exemplify excellence in promoting quality care for cats. These awards are presented at an annual conference held by AACE each year that includes speakers from both animal welfare organizations and veterinary experts.

No! Membership with AACE is free for all individuals interested in supporting their mission. Members can take advantage of discounts on educational materials provided by the association as well as access special member-only events held throughout the year.
