Our mission is to safeguard the health and welfare of all breeding cats and kittens under the care of RPBA members. Our breeders commit to providing their animals with pristine housing, ample space to roam, social interaction, outstanding nutrition, grooming, and timely medical care when needed. All RPBA members adhere to a rigorous set of ethical guidelines, available on our About Us page.

If you are contemplating cattery registration, we offer two membership levels.

1. Probationary Members must follow our strict Code Of Ethics, though their facilities have not yet been assessed and approved by a veterinarian. To ascend to full membership, they must facilitate a property audit by a practising veterinarian to ensure animal conditions comply with our standards. The RPBA Probationary Members List allows verification of a breeder’s name and phone number alongside their membership number. We advise caution when purchasing a kitten/cat from probationary members. Members who fail to meet the RPBA Code of Ethics and Standards during their audit will face suspension.
2. Full Members have had their property inspected by a veterinarian, understand and implement best practices, and uphold the RPBA code of ethics and standards.

Please use our Verify Breeder page to confirm that our records match the details provided if you cannot find a member on the probationary or full members lists.

If you are new to breeding or unsure if breeding is the right path for you, RPBA offers a Free Introduction to Cat Breeding Handbook.

For all animals bought from an RPBA member, a mandatory three-day cooling-off period is in effect, allowing you to return your pet and receive a refund. Additionally, our breeders offer a lifetime rehoming guarantee, ensuring that if you are ever unable to care for your cat, your breeder will assist in rehoming them.

We stipulate that our breeders should not mate a female younger than ten months of age and that she should have no more than two litters every twelve months to allow ample recovery time.

Our members are obliged to maintain breeding cats in peak health, cease breeding with any cat that shows genetic defects potentially harmful to kittens, and ensure all breeding cats are fully recovered between litters. You can download our breeding guide for cats here.

When purchasing a kitten, it should be at least 8 weeks old, vaccinated, and microchipped. We recommend that all kittens be desexed once they reach 1kg in weight, or when deemed ready by a vet. Kittens with infectious diseases cannot be sold until fully recovered, and any health defects must be disclosed to prospective owners before the sale.

You can find our code of ethics and more details on our About Us page. It’s crucial to meet with the breeder and the kitten’s parents whenever possible to gauge the likely size and temperament of your future adult cat.

We hope you find a wonderful feline companion and family member.
