Abstract:We built a catalog of 219 FR I radio galaxies (FR Is), called FRICAT, selected from a published sample and obtained by combining observations from the NVSS, FIRST, and SDSS surveys. We included in the catalog the sources with an edge-darkened radio morphology, redshift >=0.15, and extending (at the sensitivity of the FIRST images) to a radius r larger than 30kpc from the center of the host. We also selected an additional sample (sFRICAT) of 14 smaller (10<r<30kpc) FR Is, limiting to z<0.05. The hosts of the FRICAT sources are all luminous (-21>=M_r_>=-24), red early-type galaxies with black hole masses in the range 10^8^<=M_BH_<=3x10^9^M_{sun}_; the spectroscopic classification based on the optical emission line ratios
