RACCS Points
The RACCS annual points competition allocate points to Abyssinian, Russian and Nebelung cats owned by our club members for their wins at GCCF shows. For pedigree cats we automatically calculate your cat's points from the results published on the GCCF website. We wish to encourage our members to show their cats and raise awareness for our breeds by getting the cats seen by members of the public, so the club makes special awards to our top winners each year.

In addition, we also run a competition for club members' household pet cats.  If your pet places at a GCCF show please email us with your name, your cat's name and award/s won to COTY@raccs.co.uk so they are all counted.

RACCS CAT OF THE YEAR 2025
RACCS Cat of the Year was Imperial GrCh Dushenka Midnight-Waltz – the first time this top award has gone to a Russian Black! Walter was only shown nine times in 2025, winning 12 Best of Breed awards, plus two best of variety awards, and winning his Imperial title in the minimum number of shows at just 16 months and 4 days old, the youngest Russian ever to achieve that title. This followed a very successful kitten career in 2024, including being the RACCS Top Kitten in 2024. Walter's proud owner/breeder is Elisabeth Stark, and is from the first litter of Russian Blacks she has bred: after over 40 years breeding Russian Blues, she refers to ‘going over to the dark side' - Walter has been a great ambassador for the breed, giving hugs to everyone he got his paws on!
