The Ultimate
Cat Breeder's Directory

There are three types of cat breeders. The first is the registered breeder, meaning they are a member of and registered with one of the official cat registries in their country. Registered breeders generally specialize in one (maybe two) cat breeds and they breed according to specific breed standards laid down by the cat registries. Registered breeders are very knowledgeable about their breeds, the genetics of their cat breeds, cat health and nutrition.

The second type of cat breeder is a non-registered breeder. They may have been registered in the past and generally belong to a specific cat club or association. Whilst they are not registered with a cat registry, they tend to follow the guidelines and breed standards laid down by the registries. They breed with purebred cats and generally have small catteries and produce limited litters of kittens in any given year.

The backyard cat breeder or kitten mill is not registered with a cat registry and has no affiliation to a cat club or association. Whilst some may have 'purebred' cats, they follow none of the guidelines or breed standards laid down by the cat registries. These cat breeders have no interest in the cat's welfare, health or breed standard. Backyard breeders produce as many kittens as possible for monetary gain and sell their poor quality kittens via internet 'shops' or via pet shops. They give reputable cat breeders a bad name!!
