Question
Was wondering if i bought a kitten cat on the GCCF non active registry how do i go about getting it changed to the active registry. And what would i need from the breeder?

Also what would i do if i already have a cat on the non active registry and want to change it onto the active registry and the cat is in my name?

Answer
Hi

Tobe able to transfer your cat onto the active register you need your breeder's agreement.

You need to contact the GCCF who will send you the appropriate form and you and the breeder will need to sign it and it then needs to be returned to the GCCF with the appropriate fee.

I would strongly recommend that you discuss this with your breeder beforehand as there may be some very good reason why your cat is on the non active register, such as genetic problems in the line or the cat not being up to a good enough standard to produce future generations.

Expertise

I can give answers on cat breeding and showing having 'served' over 30 years in this particular field. I head up a Yahoo Group and also a cat club (NBA Cat Club) devoted to educating novices in the correct way to breed, and also show with both GCCF and TICA on a regular basis, and am well versed with the show world, having been involved in the management of the major GCCF Supreme Show in the UK for over 25 years. Genetics however is not my strong point.
