Cat Breeder Directory

Why it is listed

Useful free map-and-filter starting point for registered catteries, including U.S. CFA/TICA/ACFA filters. The operator openly says it cannot independently verify every listing — treat filters as convenience, then verify registration and health tests yourself.

Pros & cons

Pros

• Homepage 2026-09-07: find registered cat breeders worldwide; list a cattery for free; filters for breed, location, EMS colour/pattern codes, stud service, and kitten availability. USA hub states listings across fifty U.S. states for catteries registered with recognised American associations such as CFA, TICA, or ACFA, with map/location search and club filters.
• Published FAQ language: all listed catteries are registered with at least one recognised international organisation (FIFe, WCF, CFA, TICA, LOOF, or GCCF).
• How-to / scam guide educates buyers on registration meaning, health testing examples (HCM/PKD), live video visits, and payment caution. Site footer disclaimer: pet sales fraud exists — always research before sending money.

Cons

• Same FAQ: the directory is not able to independently verify every breeder’s current status; recommends further research, references, and never sending money without verifying the cattery. Free self-serve listing is not a pre-listing standards audit.
• No published breed-specific health-test requirement for eligibility and no inspection claim. Registration affiliation is necessary but not sufficient.
• Growing but still smaller listing base than major registry directories on pages reviewed (“101 Catteries and growing” marketing on homepage capture). Verify independently. A free directory row is not a veterinary exam.
