2026 CWA Membership Renewal

Don’t miss out on the CWA’s big fuzzy plans for 2026!

Welcome Back—We’re Glad You’re Here

We’re so glad you’re part of the Cat Writers’ Association community. Your membership helps keep CWA a supportive, inspiring home for cat-focused writers, artists, and communicators—and we hope you’ll continue the journey with us.

We have big plans for 2026! By renewing your membership, you will be a part of it! Your membership includes access to member-only discussions, Zoom chats, professional resources, discounted contest rates and tickets to the in-person and virtual conferences, and opportunities to share and promote your work. Most importantly, you’ll stay connected to a community that understands your passion for cats and will support your creative goals. This year, CWA is able to offer an economical annual fee of only $45.

Note: Members can renew without penalty until February 20, 2026. After that point, any renewals will not include the discount on 2026 contest or conference fees, and may be subject to a new / lapsed member application fee.

We look forward to a great year together!

To renew, complete the form below.

If you are not yet a member or if your membership has lapsed, please go to the Membership Application section.
