Steps in Renewal Process
AAFP Cat Friendly Practices® are required to renew their CFP designation every 3 years. Renewing is easy – simply log in to your Member Center, confirm the checklist criteria are still being fulfilled, verify your pictures are correct (or upload new ones) and submit. Please note that a Cat Friendly Practice is required to have at least one veterinarian member so make sure your memberships are up-to-date.
