The high-energy EGRET gamma-ray source, 3EG J0010 + 730, is positionally coincident with the supernovae remnant CTA 1. The EGRET positional error is sufficiently large that the nature of the gamma-ray source could not be determined from the CGRO-EGRET observations. This region of the sky was observed by the Large Area Telescope (LAT) on the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope during the on-orbit initialization of the observatory and during the subsequent all-sky survey. The improved point-spread function and larger effective area of the LAT allow the gamma-ray source to be located with much higher precision and allow searches for pulsations in gamma-rays. This talk will report on the results of analysis of Fermi observations of the gamma-ray source associated with CTA 1.
