The International Cat Association
TICA Voluntary Responsible Breeder Program
Voluntary CODE OF ETHICS
I am a member in good standing of The International Cat Association (TICA) and have
a TICA registered cattery.
I will breed discriminately, and only if I am sure I can find appropriate homes for my
kittens. I will place kittens only in homes that I believe will provide a life-long
commitment of love, appreciation and responsible care.
Any kitten or cat sold as a pet/companion, will be sold under the following conditions:
* I will guarantee that the kitten/cat is in good health at the time of sale.
* I will urge the purchaser to have the kitten/cat examined by the
purchaser’s own veterinarian within a few days of purchase to confirm its
good health.
* I will require that the kitten be spayed or neutered NO LATER THAN 12
months of age and not be allowed to produce any offspring.
* I will explain to the purchaser the dangers of an outdoor environment.
* I will provide a written sales agreement that describes all the terms of
the sale. I will abide by my own sales agreement.
* I will provide the TICA registration application form and/or pedigree for
the kitten/cat ONLY after I have received written evidence from a
licensed veterinarian that the kitten/cat has been altered
* I will encourage the purchaser to contact me if the purchaser has any
questions and I will respond in a timely manner.
* I will not release a kitten until it has been inoculated at least twice
against the following: Panleukopenia, Feline Rhinotracheitis and
Calicivirus. I also may choose to give other vaccinations.
* 1 have read and agree to abide by the above Voluntary Code of Ethics.
