Hi All

For all you breeders that register your litters with the GCCF - can you tell me how long it takes for the registration papers to come back when you register the litters?

Thanks

Yeah that's why we don't bother with them and use TICA, too much red tape.

WHAT???!!!!

I've registered a couple of cats recently and I seem to recall it was a couple of months BUT that was an unusual situation, one was over two years old so it had to go to the executive committee which meant it took longer.
With the kitten we bought back in March, we had the documents back in time for a show we had entered on April 12th - but only just. I guess that means it took abotu seven weeks as the breeder had applied for registration shortly before we purchased the kitten.

All of which makes one wonder why the GCCF specify that the papers should be handed over at the time of sale, since that would mean you would have to register your kittens at about four weeks of age when colours might still be unclear and there is still some risk of death.

Tracey are you sure u are not getting mixed up with a prefix application?

Very true Liz. The reason I ask is because the breeder of one of mine still hasnt given me the papers as she has not got them back yet. I didnt know if it was her not being organised or the GCCF being their usual slow self.

About 3 weeks normally, I find they usually come on a Monday as well

When I used to register my babies with GCCF it would typically take between 3-4 weeks. I did once get papers back a fortnight later though so it isin't always that slow.

I think it depends also to some extent on the time of year - obviously some months are busier than others - I have had my registrations come through in as little as two weeks but usually it is around 3 weeks.
