If you’re searching for a Russian Blue kitten, one of the most reliable indicators of a breeder’s credibility is their TICA Breeder Listing. Below, we’ll explain what it means, how it works, and why it should be your first checkpoint when choosing a cattery.
What Is TICA and Its Breeder Listing?
TICA (The International Cat Association) is the world’s largest genetic registry for both pedigreed and household cats. It maintains official pedigrees, organizes international shows, and sets the breed standards recognized across the globe.
The TICA Breeder Listing (also known as Find-a-Breeder) is an official directory on the TICA website featuring breeders who are registered and in good standing with the association. Each breeder’s profile links directly to their website and contact information — making it the most transparent way to find a reputable cattery.
In addition to the directory, TICA also offers a Classifieds section, where registered breeders post available kittens and adults for sale. It’s a trustworthy way for future owners to connect with verified TICA breeders.
Breeder Listing vs. Kitten Registration: The Key Difference
Many people assume that “a registered kitten” automatically means “a responsible breeder.” In reality, there are several levels of TICA involvement:
- Cattery Registration — the breeder officially registers their cattery name (prefix) in TICA’s system, gaining the right to register litters and kittens.
- Litter/Kittens Registration — each litter is entered into TICA’s genetic registry with full lineage (usually three generations or more).
- TICA Breeder Listing — a public breeder profile on TICA’s website showing their verified status and contact details.
A TICA Breeder Listing is not just a marketing link — it’s part of TICA’s verified ecosystem connecting a breeder’s public presence with their official registration data.
