    This is so sad for you... it makes my blood boil that people are taken in by scammers like this. My kittens go at 13 weeks with the works. Unfortunately people go on sites like pets4homes and see the mast-head adverts, they then contact these people... I know that one of the catteries that advertises has been struck off from all the major registries!!! But does the general public know... cos not! If anyone wants a pedigree kitten they must go to the breed sociaty websites and look from there, it isn't 100% nothing is but scammers do get outed and will be expelled from them!

    Unfortunately a four/five generation pedigree from an unregistered kitten is worthless; all the crooked breeder has to do is look online and take some names off other breeder's websites, as many put their cat's pedigrees on.

    One of my buyers told me when she picked her kitten up that kitty was related to a cat she had brought last year, I was horrified to learn that her cat was the son of Charlie Boi... Chaz had never fathered the litter... he was/is a nueter!!! So her pedigree was a work of fiction... unbelievable!

    I don't think you will ever get kitty registered, as the breeder doesn't register her cats, it will be impossible for the GCCF to validate the paperwork. Enjoy and love your kitten, have him neutered and if you want to, then show him in the pedigree pet section, I know loads of people who do this, you can go into the master cat classes.

    Its a shame and it makes my blood boil too, as why bother to register a prefix if you are not going to do it correctly, penny pinching more for the pocket thats why, and then this allows because people can get cats so easy from all over the place the put two cats together and then well we have the health problems that exist these days in the cats.

    I feel really sorry for the lady and kitty and many others in this situation, its a shame there is no hard a fast rule that people can follow. And in this case you can not even say it was a cheap kitty and so as some would say you get what you pay for!! But we all learn a hard lesson in this world, specially with breeders.

    Frankly, I never heard of a breeder giving out registrations depending on whether you were "trustworthy". Very odd.... Indeed....


    Very good Point, She does give out pink slips but only if she trust you!! if you have paid £400.00 for a kitten you need the papers, and there should be no reason not for giving them!
