What is meant by Active Register and Non-Active Register?

This relates  to pedigree cats registered with the Governing Council of the Cat Fancy (GCCF) in the UK.

 

Breeders register their kittens as proof of their pedigree status, and choose whether or not the kitten may be bred from. To record, and to some degree protect, the breeder's choice the kitten will be registered with the GCCF as either Active or Non-Active. Once a kitten is registered the kitten's owner will receive a pink copy of the registration document - if the kitten is on the Non-Active register it will be clearly stated on the pink slip.

 

Active - A kitten registered as Active may be bred from and its progeny may be registered with the GCCF.

 

Non-Active - The kitten may not be bred from. Should the cat have kittens the GCCF will not register them.
