Der FIFe Feline Fund wurde auf Initiative des KKÖ vor 3 Jahren ins Leben gerufen!
Heute wird zum ersten Mal ein wissenschaftliches Projekt angestoßen, dass die auf Gefühlen beruhende Argumentation bezüglich haarloser Katzen durch wissenschaftliche Ergebnisse ersetzen soll😻
🐾 FIFe Feline Fund – Our First Research Project Is Launched! 🐾
We are delighted to announce an important milestone: the first project supported by the FIFe Feline Fund officially starts today, 1 November 2026! 🎉
🔬 Does the Phenotype of Rex and Sphynx Cats Affect Their Health and Welfare?
This 21-month research project, initiated by our member Felis Polonia in cooperation with the Warsaw University of Life Sciences, will investigate the relationship between physical characteristics, health, behaviour and welfare in five breeds: Sphynx, Don Sphynx, Peterbald, Devon Rex and Cornish Rex.
💙 By supporting scientific research, FIFe aims to contribute to better feline health, welfare and responsible breeding.
This first grant marks an important step in turning the FIFe Feline Fund's objectives into action!
We wish Felis Polonia and the researchers every success!
