Thread: Papers.. I need help

Perhaps one of the breeders here could give you a more detailed answer. But I would find it worrying if a breeder told me they don't register their kittens. If the kitten is not registered, then officially it is no different from a moggy, so what are you paying for? I would have thought that most breeders would be proud to register their kittens, after all, they are the result of a huge amount of work!

If you have the kitten's pedigree, it should show the breeder's registration number and also the registration numbers of the sire and dam (I think, haven't got mine to hand). Maybe you could use these to register the kitten yourself?

Not registering the kitten does not ensure that the new owner does not breed from the kitten. In fact it would be much easier to breed from an unregistered kitten, as there is no official record of it. I don't think she should be selling unregistered kittens at £400.

Hope someone can shed some light on this for you. In the meantime, how is your kitten?
