The purpose of the CFA Cattery of Distinction award is to acknowledge Catteries that have reached certain thresholds of Grands produced.
About the CFA Cattery of Distinction Award
The number of grands is based on the registered cattery name, not individual breeders. Grand champions and grand premiers are counted equally, but if an individual cat achieves both titles it will only be counted once. Grands may be of one or multiple breeds within the same cattery. “Tiers” celebrate each level of accomplishment. At each tier, an additional ranking of “Superior” can be added if a certain number of DM’s accompanies the grands. See http://cfa.org/Breeders/Catteries/CatteryofDistinction.aspx for full details.
