Active, non-active register question


a quick question, if a cat is on non-active regsiter does this mean that he/she has to be neutered by a certain age?
or is that just when you sign a contract stating so?
Best wishes

Re: Active, non-active register question


most breeders will ask you to neuter by 6 months if on non active
and if the cat is not for breding then its a good idea as even girls can spray when calling and they dont call it calling for nothing

Re: Active, non-active register question


Am I right in thinking that a kitten can be transferred from non active to Active?

Re: Active, non-active register question


If the breeder has put this kitten on the Non Active register you can not breed from your kitten, but you can still show & you will have to have the kitten Neutered or speyed & it's great fun showing a neuter. If you go to the gccf web site this will tell you all you need to know about showing or go to a cat show.

no If the breeder has specifically put this kitten on the Non Active register then It can not breed from he/she but you can show as a neuter classes.

Re: Active, non-active register question


But if it was a question as to proving to the breeder in the lead up to and after the first call that you ere able to provide the necesary care of a queen in call to keep her away from toms etc, then the breeder saw fit could the kitten be transfered onto active?

Re: Active, non-active register question


I thought it was possible to transfer them from reading this on the GCCF literature


The GCCF will not register kittens born from a parent on the Non-Active register and cats may only be transferred from the Non-Active to the Active register by the breeder or the person who first registered the cat, who is under no obligation to do so. This does not mean that cats registered on the Non-Active register will not be bred from but it does make their kittens of less value, and so discourages the new owner from breeding. Stud owners should be aware that Non-Active registered cats should not be accepted to stud, and owners of studs and queens should ensure that any prospective mate is on the Active register by asking to see the registration or transfer certificate. A Non-Active registration will have the words 'NO PROGENY TO BE REGISTERED' printed on the certificate, beside the registered owner's name and address.

Re: Active, non-active register question


yes a breeder can put a cat on to the active reg after it has been on the non active but only the breeder can do that. and its not that you have showed the breeder that you can look after the cat as both on active and non active should be looked after the same its the quality of the kitten/cat.

most breeders like you to at least show a neuter for a few years before selling a cat on the active reg

I wasn't saying the kittens care would be any different! just saying the breeder wanted us to prove that we could keep an intact queen on call away from the moggy toms!

Re: Active, non-active register question


no luke i know u wernt saying that

i have never heard of a breeder doing that so i cant sa.
so i guess you want to get in to breeding then? i hope this is what you mother wants and not you, a child should have nothing to do with the breeding of any animal, yes i have kids but they know nothing about what goes on they know when an animal is preg and they also meet the kittens/pups when they are 3 weeks and not before. my oldest is 9 and has never seen anything born other than on TV.
