Oriental Shorthairs of America, Inc. (OSA) is one of the largest registered clubs of the Cat Fanciers Association (CFA). Our club has business meetings four times a year which are announced in the club minutes, via email and/or the the club newsletter, "Tails of the Orient".

OSA is sponsoring a lymphoma research grant to be managed by the Winn Foundation. Lymphoma is the leading form of cancer in all cats, domestic and pedigreed. This cancer can strike at any age, from the very young to the old. Since April 2004, we have been collecting donations for a seed fund. Once we collect $7,500 in donations, the Winn Foundation will match our donations and issue a call for proposals. Researchers interested in studying this disease can then apply for funding and hopefully find a cure.
