What happens now and how long before I hear anything?
Are the possible names published anywhere for people to object to?

Thanks
can take up to 16-20 weeks depending on when the next meeting is hun from now xx

if you email and ask when the next prefix proposal meeting is as you just want an idea how long until you know then i'm sure they'll tell you xx
once the meeting has been done then they'll end up in OURCATS mag and on their webpages and then people can write in after that xx i think they then give them 2 or so weeks to say anything then you should get your paperwork through hun xx

Re: Prefixes

Random question - if I want to breed Siamese how do I get a prefix? Mai Tai has only the generic allocated prefix, does that matter? Do I have to be a member of anything? And do I have to already have had a litter of kittens? (cat that is not me personally!)
I'm sure I could find it all out with a bit of research but I'm just being lazy!

Re: Prefixes

http://www.gccfcats.org/pdf/prefixapp.pdf thats the GCCF form to complete. You do have to be a member of an affiliated cat club for a year, but if you join a club some of them will sign it for you straight away.

It doesn't matter if your girl has an administrative prefix, nor do you have to have had a litter. Once your chosen prefix is approved all kittens you breed will have that prefix when registered with the GCCF and that prefix is yours for life.

Re: Prefixes

Just had an email back from the GCCF, the next meeting is not until 18th Feb 2009!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so it is going to take ages, that is 21 weeks from when they received it and then it is still going to be a while before it is approved.
Funny old thing they cashed their cheque pretty quickly though!!!

Re: Prefixes

yes that's one thing they are VERY quick about - cashing cheques. It really makes me angry that they take your money and then you hear nothing for months

I think it's ridiculous that it takes so long to get a prefix approved. After all you're paying enough for it!
