Very often I come across the fact that people do not understand who the Breeder of Cats is .... Quite a lot of people do not really understand the difference between the owner of a cat, a breeder and a nursery. Let's try to understand this article.
Owner cat / cat - this just owner, the person who bought, took or gave him a kitten, he follows (kitten) takes care of him, feeds, educates. That is, it's just a person who lives a cat / cat.
The kitten grows, ripens and .... The "hymns" begin. The cat is ripe and wants to "marry." If the cat is mongrel or was not bought in breeding (under castration), then responsible owner takes her to a veterinarian for castration. If the cat bought into breeding, with all the necessary documents and has divorce assessments (exhibited at the exhibition), then the responsible owner begins to look for her "groom" (although most often the responsible owners of the "groom" already have a note). That's it during this period there is a division of people who have a cat to "owners" and "breeders".
Once a person decides to tie his cat, he automatically becomes a breeder. those. breeder Is the owner of a cat that gives birth to kittens, (usually for sale). A breeder is this one who takes a cat to a cat, then feeds hard and fetishes it during pregnancy, takes delivery, nurtures and educates kittens. BUT, that's not all! A real Breeder is one who breeds thoroughbred, pedigree animals (animals with DOCUMENTS). You ask: "What are the names of those who sell kittens without documents?" Do not confuse Breeders with breeders / breeders, they simply knit a breed of a similar type and sell it as a marriage marriage ... it's bad .... More details about the differences of Breeders from the divorce can be read in the article: "".
And so, the conclusion:
1. any owner of breeding cats is a breeder (he is a breeder for the kittens he has received),or like this Breeder — this owner of one or more cats, giving offspring;
2. responsible Breeders of cats are people who are engaged in planned thoroughbred breeding of thoroughbred thoroughbred cats that have admission to breeding (ie, divorce assessments from cat shows), nurturing kittens and selling / transferring them to new owners with documents!
Catter breeders, in turn, can be divided into:
1. Breeder-breeders - is a simple person, the owner of a cat (or cats), engaged in her / their breeding, while he does not have a breeding program, does not have extensive knowledge in the field of felinology, does not attend courses. In general, an amateur breeder refers to breeding cats as a simple hobby, which he can have a dozen. Buying a kitten from an amateur should not be hoped that it will be of high quality, as well as you can not count on a competent consultation on the further care and maintenance of the kitten.
2. Responsible literate Breeders (or they are also called PROFESSIONAL Breeders) - this is the exact opposite of the breeder-lover, they have all the necessary knowledge for this, a difficult occupation like breeding thoroughbred cats and the proper cultivation of kittens. First of all, the Professional Breeder learns a lot, pushes up a mountain of literature and a lot of information from the Internet, attends / finishes courses in felinology, constantly improves (hones his knowledge and never stops on what he has achieved). Such a person naturally competently selecting couples for breeding cats, properly takes care of a pregnant cat, feeds properly and brings up kittens. Just do not think that if such people are called professional Breeders, then this is their profession and their job that provides. It's sooo far from it! Each (or almost every) professional Breeder has a profession (absolutely not connected with cats), and a job where they earn money not only to provide for themselves and their families, but also for the maintenance of their pets. For them, breeding cats - this is the same hobby as for an amateur, only an approach more responsible, more scrupulous and literate. Taking a kitten from such a person, you get a really healthy, pedigree animal, and in addition lifelong advice on all matters relating to this kitten, and even when he becomes an adult, too.
Of course, not every Breeder immediately becomes a professional, in order to be called one has to go a long way, read and communicate a lot, study and understand all the subtleties of felinology, and also love cats and their occupation. A professional breeder of cats devotes a lot of time to his work.
And what is a cattery of cats? In felinology, the word "kennel" means a community of pedigreed cats and cats, united by man, the place of residence of cats and certain breeding purposes. In different systems - different rules for registration of nurseries (or their names). But in all systems included in the World Felinological Congress, an obligatory requirement for registration is the presence in the nursery of a fertile pedigreed cat (female) at the fertile age, having a tolerance for breeding. The name of the nursery is a "trademark", the breeder's logo. It is remembered by other Breeders. Animals that have a "surname" of the nursery have many similar features. To achieve that "trademark" became a "mark of quality" - a long hard work of the breeder. It is even more difficult to protect the "quality mark" at a high level, that is, for years to maintain a good reputation of a bona fide Breeder. About what the cattery of cats is (most often) can be read in the article ""
Well, what is a club of cat lovers.
Largely, clubs for cat lovers and felinological centers - These are public non-profit organizations; association of people who are very fond of cats and who are breeding cats. Clubs are called upon to help breeders in 
breeding cats, advise: care, feeding, breeding and exhibitions. Clubs conduct systematic breeding and breeding work, organize cat shows, which invited well-known experts in felinology. These organizations protect rare breeds of cats, as well as the breeding of new breeds. Clubs of cat lovers usually consist in one of the Felinological Federations. So our club of cat lovers FPTS "Baikal Cote" is actual
Deciding to take a thoroughbred kitten into the house, be attentive to the breeder's choice. This person will not only pick up a pet for you, but also tell you how to properly care for him, what to do with vaccinations, advise a good feed, a competent veterinarian, and also help you get comfortable in the world of cat shows (unless, of course, you plan to do it).

On the newly masters, a huge amount of new information suddenly falls down, and the help of an experienced person will be at the right time.
To start, collect information about all available breeds in the range of your kennels and breeders, read reviews on the Internet, visit the exhibition, where you will also be able to communicate with interested people. Do not rush, because the kitten you choose will live with you together for a long time, and it is better now to spend your energy searching, having rid yourself of many difficulties later. Your task is to choose a healthy affectionate kid with all vaccinations and documents that fully corresponds to the parameters of your breed, without genetic defects, and only a diligent breeder can help you in this.
For a good and responsible person, the first priority is not to benefit from selling animals, but to take care of attaching the kitten to really good hands, so pay attention to how interesting your salesperson is to your person. Do not be surprised if you are asked about the living conditions, about whether there is enough space in the house, are you going to equip the space so that the kitten has the opportunity to run, frolic, sharpen claws and retire in a secluded corner. All this indicates that the breeder is coming to business with the soul, he will probably call you more than once, and will inquire about the well-being of his "child".
Another important quality of the breeder is extensive knowledge of cats in general and this breed in particular, including initial veterinary skills and awareness of exhibitions held in Russia and abroad. He should be aware of all changes in the assessment of the exterior of the animal, because the norms change and are refined quite often. In general, he should be not just a seller, but literally stew in all this and communicate with other owners. Such a person feels responsible for breeding only healthy and beautiful kittens, improving the breed. In addition, he will be able to help you figure out what's what, advise good literature, give a veterinarian's phone and bring it together with the exhibition organizers.
Do not be afraid to ask questions: a good breeder will gladly answer even the strangest and naive ones. It is better to ask once again than to do something wrong afterwards. Discuss with him the list of purchases necessary for the kitten: which tray to choose, what food to use, how to use it as a scribe, and so on.
Examine the room where the mother of the baby and other cats are kept, there must be clean, spacious, enough toys. Look closely at how the breeder communicates with his pets. Kittens that are kept in a cage risk growing aggressive and gain muscle atrophy, they need to move, play and communicate with other animals and people.
Check out all the documents available from mom and kitten, make sure that all vaccinations are done on time. Give up the services of a breeder who advises an operation to remove claws or vocal cords, it is unlikely that he truly loves animals.
Think twice if the seller tries to somehow pressure you into making a decision to purchase a kitten. Experienced breeder, who loves his work, does not worry about how to quickly sell their kids. He will calmly show you mom and kittens, as well as the place where they are kept; will share all the necessary information and give you the right to choose yourself.
