I don't understand why this would be needed. If you have a pedigree cat, litters are registered by the breeder and the owner then would receive the cats pedigree, or certainly should. In the USA that would be TICA and CFA. I'm not familiar with Europe (which this club seems to be for or at least UK) other than TICA.

All the current clubs are well respected so it seems to be redundant to create another club, let alone one that is also cataloging what they say are crossbreed cats.

Where do you think?
Of particular concern is the orange cat that appears to be a cross between a persian and a munchkin. Anyone mixing such breeds togeather is irresponsable, just like folds shouldn't be bred with munchkins. It increases the chances of a fatal gene.

Even if it is just a persian with short legs theres definatly something off about them. Says they were founded in 2020 too.

I havent heard about this, and at this moment I dont know nothing about them. Unless they DO cooperate and are associated closely with a real cat association, say the big european FIFe, so its more or less a fake...

Dont go in the trap! Of course, if you DO have a cat whom you know is purebred, but by any reason isnt registered with the proper association - this may be better than nothing.

But its almost surely either a home made hobby site, or its even a scam.

I have now looked a little nearer on the site. I hope they arent phishing for money as tje basic service if for free, so no criminal enterprise.
but they are essentially, fake. Seems to be a hobby project, no real cat club.



Because they dont mention any cooperation or association with legit cat club.

I thought, they MAY be an Indenpendent Catclub, but these are organized under WCF? umbrella.


In England the big organisation is GCFF? I think they are part of FIFE.
Tica is international,

There are some more possibilites.

A memory arises. On the subforum What look alike Im,
once there were two nice siamese old type cats... And so I identified them, they could even be show quality if there is a class for old type siamese.

One forumist, Maewkaew, whose specialisation ARE old type siameses, confirmed and said they had looks of the Thai cat - whose ARE old type siamese, sort of...
Pity they werent registered when kittens - now its too late.

The owner said, she found some papers, they WERE registered... But it was a fake organisation.
"Send in 3 good photos and 800 dollars, and you will get the certificate"...

Im still wondering, if the owner insisted together with the breeder, to get out a real certificate - it would probably be possible. Because parent were probably such pedigreed cats.
But when they took the easy solution and connected with this false organisation - it was chanceless....

Theorethically, there is sometimes a possibility to be registered as novice, but its rarely done, nowadays only in exceptional cases.
