American Association of Feline Practitioners

About This Association

The American Association of Feline Practitioners (AAFP) supports its members in improving the health and welfare of cats through high standards of practice, continuing education, and evidence-based medicine. In 1970, at the American Veterinary Medical Association meeting in Las Vegas, an informational meeting was held for a new interest group, the American Association of Feline Practitioners. Dr. Alvin Kaplan brought together a group of veterinarians that had a strong interest in feline medicine for one single goal, to improve the field of feline medicine. The Association was officially established in 1971, with 25 members. By 1974, with the assistance of Dr. Barbara Stein, Dr. Fred Scott and Dr. Bill Hardy, the Association grew to over 200 members, and was officially incorporated. Throughout the years, the Association continued to grow as a respected institution in the field of feline medicine. It has partnered with other well-respected veterinary associations and organizations to move its mission forward.
