How To Find Out If A Breeder Is Registered With Tica

harlowquin

As you may know my Pasha passed abroad last week. I miss him and then much. My married man thinks we should become another flamepoint ragdoll correct away. We came beyond an advertizing on Hoobly.com for a registerd flame point male that is 12 weeks old. I called to speak to the breeder. They are telling me that the kitten is registerable. I asked what their cattery proper noun is and they told me that right at present their web site is down. I went ahead and checked on TICA's web site for breeders in Ohio and they are not listed. So my question is this. Can a cat be registered with TICA but not have the breeder listed? I but don't desire to get burned every bit I have had enough heartbreak.
The breeder of Pasha has told me that she will be willing to give us another kitten when her cat has a new litter. This won't be for quite awhile. She will more than likely not take any flame points. I know I want to have two ragdolls this time. That is why nosotros even did a search on line for i.
Any help would be appreciated.

they could just be updating the TICA database or something - you never know

Only a cat that is non TICA registered wouldn't break my middle (as long as I didn't pay a registered blazon price)

I think you are correct to exist cautious.

I am not sure if the kitten can be registered with TICA without the breeder actually being listed. I honestly have no idea. I am sure someone here will be able to answer that question.

If yous don't heed me asking, how much are they charging for the kitten?

If it is to low, for me sometimes that can be a red flag... unless it's a retired breeder or an older kitten that merely hasn't been adopted however. 12 weeks doesn't fall into that catagory.

Are you able to run across with the breeder in person?

I call up you are doing the correct affair past being careful and request questions. I hope information technology will all work out.

I also retrieve it's wonderful that Pasha's breeder offered to give you lot another kitten from a future litter.

TICA has two lists.

The commencement existence registered cattery names. The listing is in alphabetical lodge and only lists the proper name naught else.

The 2d is the breeders list. Only breeders that sign TICAs lawmaking of ethics is listed there. There are many TICA registered catterys that are not listed there (including mine).

Expert luck on your hunt for the cherry-red male child. We just sent a blood-red mitted male child to his new home yesterday and a red bicolor boy goes Friday. I really love the reds.
What seems strange to me is that they wouldn't give you their cattery name. Red Flag for me.

You could contact TICA directly and explicate the situation and see if they are willing to check their records for this cattery. Its possible for the breeder to be registered and not be listed. I know several breeders in ACFA who are registered but non listed in the associations breed directory.

I'd have a little yellow flag circumspection here - something doesn't sound right. Yous might want to cheque other breeders.

Thanks all for the replies. The cattery proper noun is Catus Green. The flame ragdoll is 12 weeks and the breeder said because he has just had another litter with 1 of his other females he has lowered this kitten to $450.00. I am able to go to his domicile and come across the mother and father. The kitten looks so very much similar my Pasha. He said he would exist that cost for pet but more for breeding rights which I am not interested in doing. He has paypal merely would prefer cash every bit pay pal charges a fee.
He would like a deposit of $100.00. I can't get to run into him this weekend as we have Trick-or-treating. So I think I volition but tell him that if he sells him before next week to just allow me know. I will accept to wait till side by side weekend. You lot are right. Papers are non going to mean much to me as I will not be showing or breeding. Still, I want to be sure I am getting a Ragdoll for that price.

I'm not familiar with that cattery.

The question I have is did he register the litter? Information technology simply costs $x.00 for a breeder to do so.

Although, the papers may not be important to you. It is your balls that y'all have a purebred ragdoll.

$450.00 is rather low. He may have an excess of available cats right now.

Discover out if the parents of this kitten are registered. Likewise you can ask who their vet information technology and ask the vet for a reference.

goldenkitty45

I don't encounter any signs of any cats nether that cattery name. Which tells me he doesn't fifty-fifty show his cats. Even if the website is down, a skilful breeder will have his cats/cattery show upwards in a search.

You may be ownership into a backyard breeder who got Ragdolls and never spayed/neutered them. I don't like his "excuses". If he can't prove the parents are registered and show you a pedigree, then you'd exist ameliorate to skip this breeder and find someone more than honest.

Exercise yous know if the $450 includes the kitten being spayed/neutered? Its still a low price for a 3 calendar month old kitten. Most pedigrees now will average $600 for pet prices. And most purebred breeders hang onto the kittens till 4 months old unless they know that the 3 month old is a pet quality true cat.

kluchetta

Yep, that list looks skilful to me. My breeder didn't have a web site, but she's on that list.

and I take a bluish slip and all that for Smudge.

cococat

Hoobly.com was my red flag not to deal with that breeder. If you are interested in a good quality breeder, go to shows, or contact a cat social club, network on yahoo lists for good breeders that show and breed the correct way. If a good breeder doesn't affair than get the rescue route, look on petfinder. com.

scamperfarms

Hooblys not a bad site just you DO have to be carefull and as with any identify do your research. IMO

urbantigers

I have to agree with everyone else to practise caution hither. I'm hearing a lot of people say that papers don't matter to them because they don't want to testify or breed, but papers are important because they show that the true cat is really a registered pure bred and that the breeder is registering the cats with a reputable organisation. Information technology doesn't guarantee a good breeder, but it's a start.

If there are any warning bells ringing, I'd walk abroad from this breeder and find some other one.

This is kind of changing the subject field a fleck, simply didn't Pasha die of a very contagious illness? If and so, yous might not want to get a new kitten correct away. Yous might desire to ask a vet about it first. I know when I was a child, my mother couldn't get a new kitty after this one cat we adopted had the feline blazon of distemper. The Vet told us nosotros'd have to wait a certain corporeality of fourth dimension, plus disinfect the unabridged house. Y'all might desire to await before yous prefer a kitten.

harlowquin

Yeah, I spoke with the vet. He said that certainly do a good cleaning and disinfect but that when a cat has FIP they are not shedding the virus. He said to get ahead and disinfect the litter box but I just threw the whole thing out. Don't want to take a chance. I spoke with someone here at this site that also had a true cat die from this. She had 2 other cats at the fourth dimension an two weeks afterward adopted a kitten. This was several years agone and all is fine with her cat family.
I have decide not to prefer this male flame as I can't detect the breeder listed anywhere. I emailed with my concerns and never got an email dorsum. Non sure what that means.

goldenkitty45

IMO that means the "breeder" was not a skilful one! Promise you detect the perfect kitty - now y'all know what to really look for in a skilful breeder
