CatHobbyist.com supports the responsible breeding of pedigreed cats. We host websites for, accept advertising and sponsorships
from, and list only code of ethics registered breeders.
Responsible breeders seek to preserve and improve their chosen breeds, and are involved with clubs, rescue, education, and other
feline-related activities. They register their kittens with reputable registries, screen their buyers to make sure their animals are
placed in appropriate homes, and make provisions to ensure that the kitten will have a good home for its lifetime.
As a CatHobbyist.com registered Code of Ethics breeder, I state that:
I breed my cats with care and attention for the preservation and improvement of my chosen breed(s).
I research health, temperament, and comformation for each litter I breed.
I provide health and temperament information on my breed in general as well as on my specific cats or kittens to all prospective kitten
buyers, as well as copies of all appropriate health and genetic clearances. All kittens are examined by a veterinarian before placement.
I register my litters with the CFA, TICA, ACFA, or other all breed or breed-specific registries that have similar standards. I provide
all required documentation with each kitten, in accordance with the rules and regulations of the registry.
I personally and carefully screen each prospective kitten buyer to ensure that the home is appropriate for the breed and the individual
cat. I take back kittens at any time during their life, ensuring that each kitten I breed has a home for its lifetime. All kitten placements
are done by the breeder, never by third parties such as brokers, dealers, or wholesalers, nor through auctions, or as prizes.
I am a member in good standing of a breed-related, show-related, feline education-related, or rescue-related club or organization.
