 Persian
Kittens - Registration Terms to Know
-
Pedigrees: Family trees that
start lineage going back from three to six
generations of your Persian kitten for
sale.
-
Registries: Organizations
that give a written history of the Persian
kitten for sale in a pedigree form. A
registration is a document representing your
Persian kitten's lineage. The three
(3) main cat breeder registries in
the United States are CFA (Cat
Fanciers Association), ACFA (American Cat
Fanciers Association), and TICA (The International
Cat Association). The
registration papers are given to the buyer from the
Persian cat breeder. The
buyer then send the paper off to the registry and in
return receives the owner's registration paper on
their new Persian kitten.
-
Registered Kitten:
A registered Persian kitten has a
documented pedigree in a recognized cat
breed from a cat registry.
-
A Purebred: This is a
Persian cat whose bloodline has not
been diluted by other breeds or randomly bred
cats.
Persian Kittens - Buying a
Registered Persian Cat
When purchasing a registered
Persian kitten, you can expect to pay much more
than one that is not registered. A pedigreed
Persian kitten is an investment, so it
is important to do your homework. Consider
Persian kittens for sale from reputable
cat breeders who offer a health guarantee and
state approved health certificate. Learn
