Welcome to all that would like to join. :) We are open to anyone interested in supporting the Maine Coon polydactyl and acceptance for Show Status with the major Cat Associations.
This is a true working group of which the primary goal is to have the Maine Coon Breed Standards modified to accept the polydactyl digit configurations and have the Maine Coon polydactyl accepted for show status. All members joining do so with the understanding they will be asked to contribute their time and support to this working group.
The PolyStandard group is working toward acceptance in all major Cat Associations around the World. The Maine Coon polydactyl is now accepted as an equal and for Championship Status in the New Zealand Cat Fancy (NZCF). Currently our focus is working with TICA for full acceptance of the Maine Coon polydactyl for Championship Status. PolyStandard needs your help and financial contributions for promotion and acceptance. If you are willing to donate your time and efforts we encourage you to join this group. If you wish to donate to help cover the expenses of mailings, document printing, promotion, sponsorships and in-person presentations at Cat shows, please visit this link for more information: http://polystandard.polytrak.net.
Our group also has a merchandise sale site for the purchase of some great PolyStandard items. All profits from these sales will also be used for our expenses of acceptance. You may visit this site at: http://www.cafepress.com/PolyMCs
