NORWEGIAN FOREST CAT CLUB IN FINLAND, SMERRY

The oldest NFO-club in Finland

Norwegian forest cat (NFO) comes to Finland

The first Norwegian forest cat was imported from Norway to Finland in 1979 and the first kittens were born two years later. 335 Norwegian forest cats were registered in Finland in 2004. The total number of registered NFOs from the first import is around 3489. SMERRY was founded in 1989 but an active club for Norwegian forest cat fanciers was operating earlier under SUROK, the Finnish cat association.

The intention of SMERRY is to

promote the breeding of Norwegian forest cat
make Norwegian forest cats known
operate as a link between breeders, owners and all Norwegian forest cat friends

Giving information and advice, arranging club meetings and shows as well as having close relations to associations both in Finland and throughout the world are the main tasks of SMERRY.
