RPBA
Membership
Probationary Members
If you have cats under your care or are considering becoming a feline breeder, we encourage you to apply as a probationary member of the RPBA. Before joining, however, make sure that you agree to comply with your state legislation and the Code of Ethics & Standards
Approval of probationary membership can take a couple of days to two weeks. Once your membership is approved, your details will appear on our online database and a veterinarian audit form will be sent to you upon email request. Fill out the audit form, then have it completed by a practising veterinarian. Make sure to accomplish the form within 12 months to be eligible to apply as a full RPBA member with no additional cost.
