Fanciers Breeder Referral List

Why it is listed

Best independent English cat-only national list in this pass with clear U.S./Canada acceptance rules and transparent Standard/Premium pricing. FBRL itself says it does not verify claims or inspect catteries — use it as a starting phone book, then verify registration and health tests directly.

Pros & cons

Pros

• breedlist.com Find Breeders 2026-09-07: search by breed, country (USA/Canada), and state/province with cattery cards showing association marks (CFA/TICA/ACFA etc.). Cat-only mission stated on About Us — dedicated solely to the pedigreed cat since the mid-1990s paid service era.
• Add Listing acceptance criteria: physically located in the United States or Canada; cattery name registered with at least one major cat association; register cats/kittens with a major association; not purposeful mixed-breed pet breeding; not purposeful exotic wild mammal pet breeding except accepted hybrids; no permanent suspension from a major animal association; never any member convicted of an animal-related crime. Major association defined with standards, pedigrees, and shows (CFA, TICA, ACF-CCA, ACFA, CFF named).
• Published fees: Standard $59.99/yr (photos, contact, social links); Premium $89.99/yr (more photos, preferred state placement, Breeder’s Statement). Listing form includes health-guarantee and contract selectors for advertisers to disclose.

Cons

• Terms of Service: FBRL has no obligation to monitor or regulate claims; listing information is provided by breeders; FBRL does not verify claims, inspect facilities, or make specific recommendations. Loyalty/continuous-listing designation is explicitly not a seal of approval beyond loyal customer status (About Us).
• No published breed-specific genetic-test requirement for eligibility — health guarantees on a listing are advertiser-selected, not third-party verified.
• U.S./Canada only for new listings. Meet the breeder. Ask for documents. A paid ad is not a veterinary exam.
