Buying a Kitten
If you wish to buy a kitten for breeding or showing it is essential that you buy one which is correctly bred and registered: you may otherwise discover that it is not possible to register the kittens you produce or not possible to show your cat.
Check the pedigree against the registration policy before buying the kitten.
Only cats which are registered on the Full Register (its registration number will begin CS...), Supplementary Register (CSSR...) or Experimental Register (CSEXP...) may be shown.
If you only wish to buy the kitten as a pet you should still ensure that you are paying for a proper pedigree kitten and that the breeder has adhered to the Code of Ethics. (Buying a cheaper, unvaccinated kitten may work out much more expensive in the long term!)

The GCCF cannot supply details of breeders or kittens, but most Cat Clubs hold lists of kittens available or breeders who may be able to help you.
You may wish to join a Cat Club, visit a Cat Show or show your cat:
You must also ensure that your kitten is registered on the Active Register; if it is registered on the Non-Active Register you will not be able to register its kittens.
