Re: Prefixes

It is the name of the 'cattery' that bred your cat - so the first name on her pedigree name (on the oink registration slip). It is best to have your own name and you can apply for this via the GCCF. You need to be a member of a breed club and have them sign a form confirming this before GCCF will accept the application. Some clubs require you to be a member for 12 months first, some don't. Your breeder should be albe to help you with this as you often need 'sponsoring' to gain membership of the breed club.

Once your application is with GCCF it can take up to 20 weeks to get your prefix ratified but any kittens born once they have acknowledged receipt of your application will be able to use that prefix rather than the administrative prefix the GCCF gives. The bad news if you have to give at least 4 choices and they will choose from those for you - finding 4 you really want is hard!

Hope that helps

ooo not that I know of! You dont have to even have a name to reg with them. Mum is GCCF & TICA Active cos of that I can reg them with TICA under my name or GCCF & they give me a name!
