My cat is registered with another association. Can I still register it with CFA?

REGISTRATION VIA PEDIGREE

Under certain circumstances, a cat registered with another recognized association may be eligible for CFA registration without prior CFA litter registration by the breeder. Application for registration can be made via certified pedigree from an approved organization with the appropriate number of generations included with the application*

Note: these rules apply only to cats being transferred to CFA from other associations/registries recognized by CFA. To obtain registration for cats eligible under this policy, a 5-generation certified pedigree (see Note below for exceptions to the 5-generation requirement), issued by the registrar of the association in which the cat is currently registered, must be submitted for CFA files, either by mail or email. A 5-generation certified pedigree includes the cat to be registered plus five generations of background. A 4-generation certified pedigree includes the cat to be registered plus four generations of background. Pedigrees used for this type of registration will only be accepted from previously approved registration associations (see Note below). Photocopies and emailed copies of the certified documents will be accepted as long as they are clear and complete and CFA can determine from the data provided that the pedigree is certified. Keep the original documents for your files.

Whenever possible, the cat name issued at the time of CFA registration will be the same as the name assigned to the cat when it was originally registered (as printed on the pedigree). Except for the use of the breeder's CFA-registered cattery name and for the addition of the new owner's cattery suffix where applicable, signed permission of the cat's breeder would be required for us to make any changes to the name. CFA Rules for Registration would apply with regard to the allowable length of cat name and with regard to the use of any cattery name registered with CFA in the name of the cat's breeder.

NOTE: Pedigrees from selected associations are accepted for registration purposes as long as the pedigree is certified (signed by the registrar and/or stamped with an association seal), provides all required information, and contains the required number of generations of background required by the breed to be registered. Required information includes the name, color (or color code), and registration number for all cats in the background. The breed and colors of those background cats must conform to CFA requirements for the particular breed of cat being registered. If you are not sure whether a particular association's pedigree will be accepted, contact Central office with the name and location of the association before purchasing the cat and/or the pedigree.

If a pedigree cannot be obtained from the current association that includes all of the required number of generations of background needed to register that particular breed, CFA will accept more than one certified pedigree in order to obtain the required documentation. We will accept a certified pedigree or a photocopy of the registration certificate for the subject cat plus certified pedigrees for each of the parents (or for cats further back in the pedigree as needed).

RECORDED CATS: Cats may be individually recorded for breeding purposes only, not for showing. The requirements for recording are identical to those for individual registration via pedigree, except that one less generation of ancestry is required. Recorded cats may not be shown at CFA shows. This may be a viable option for the cat which has only a 4- generation pedigree.

AOV (Any Other Variety) REGISTRATIONS: In certain instances, a cat's background (colors and/or breeds) may cause the cat to be registered in CFA as a different breed than what is currently listed as the breed in another cat registry. For example, a cat registered as a Siamese in another registry but whose pedigree reflects colors/breeds in the background that CFA does not accept for registration in the Siamese breed, will be registered in CFA under a breed other than Siamese.

NOTE: The following breeds require certified pedigrees for the number of generations indicated in parentheses after the breed name: Abyssinian (8), American Wirehair (4), Balinese (3 or 5), Burmilla (4), Chartreux (4), Devon Rex (3), European Burmese (8 - North American Registries only), Korat (3), Persian (8), Ragdoll (3), Russian Blue (8), Scottish Fold (4), Selkirk Rex (can be registered using certificate of registration only, no pedigree required), Siamese (8), Siberian (3), Sphynx (3), Tonkinese (3) and Turkish Angora (3). All other breeds require 5 generations.

Titles and awards won in other associations will not be recorded or shown on CFA records.

To determine if your non-CFA registered cat can be registered with us, please mail or email at least a 4-generation pedigree for the cat you wish to register and include a note requesting registration information. For initial review purposes, the pedigree need not be certified and it may be a photocopy. Please be aware that an official registry certified pedigree may later be required in order to apply for the actual registration process with CFA once the cat has been determined to be eligible for registration via pedigree.

For the review purposes only, the pedigree information may be obtained from the breeder of the cat or from the association in which the cat is now registered. The pedigree must include cat names, registration numbers and colors (or breed/color codes) for all cats in the pedigree. If you do not have any pedigree information available and it is necessary for you to purchase a certified pedigree from the registry in which the cat is currently registered, please be aware that, although CFA only needs to see the first 4 generations for review purposes, further generations may be required to complete the actual registration process. If applicable, you can ask the registry association for their fees for upgrading a certified pedigree to 5 or 8 generations from the 4 generations that were originally purchased.

Mail or email to CFA a photocopy of the pedigree for the cat you wish to register and a photocopy of the cat's registration certificate from the association in which the cat is currently registered. Include a letter requesting registration information. The pedigree will be reviewed and either returned to you or we will contact you by email with further instructions. There is a $15 fee for this review process. Fees for actual registration will be explained in the return correspondence, which will also include any forms you will need to complete the cat's CFA registration.

If it is determined the cat can be registered in CFA using a certified pedigree, the fee to register a cat via pedigree is $40.00. If your cat cannot be registered with CFA, CFA will retain $15.00 of the $40.00 fee. CFA accepts credit cards for payment of all services. If paying by card, please include:

• Credit card number:
• Expiration date:
• CVV number (Three numbers on back of card for VISA & MC or four numbers on front of card for AE):
• Name of person on card:
• Billing Address of card owner
• Street:
• Country:

Please allow 15-30 business days for processing of the registration once application and payment have been received in this office. Instructions should be included indicating the name(s) to be listed as owner and the postal mailing address to be printed on the cat's certificate for mailing.

If you already have a certified pedigree for your cat as issued by the current association, please mail or email a photocopy of the pedigree to CFA Central Office along with your request to have the cat registered. We suggest that, if at all possible, applications for registration by submitted via email or mail rather than by fax, which is often difficult to read when printed. Keep the original for your files. Include the $40.00 fee. When applying for registration using a certified pedigree from another association, please use our Registration via Pedigree Form. Be sure to include (via an enclosed letter or email) any additions or changes you want to make, including cattery suffix addition and owner name(s) and address. If the CFA Registration Department can register the cat using the documents received, it will do so. If the Registration Department cannot register your cat, they will return your application less the $15 processing fee, with further instructions. If you submit via email, the Registration Department will reply back to you via email. This type of registration application cannot be submitted using CFA's online registration service. Please send all documents to:

问：我的猫是其他协会注册的。我还可以注册到CFA吗？

①通过谱系注册

某些情况下，在另一个公认的协会注册的猫可能有资格获得CFA注册而无需事先通过繁育人在CFA获得窝次注册。申请注册（CFA）可通过公认的协会获取数代的认证谱系来作为申请*

注：这些规则仅适用于从CFA认可的其他协会/注册处转入的猫，为使符合资格的猫获得注册需遵循以下政策：必须通过邮件或电子邮件的方式提交猫目前注册所在协会的官方签发的5代认证谱系（5代以外的情况见下文注释）。一个5代认证谱系包括猫注册加上5代的背景。一个4代认证谱系包括猫注册加上四代的背景。用于此类登记的谱系只能原登记协会获得（见下文注）。只要证明文件的复印件和电子邮件副本清晰、完整，并且CFA可以从数据中确定谱系是否经过认证，那么我们将接受这些文件的复印件和电子邮件副本并保留原始文件以备存档。

只要有可能，注册CFA时签发的猫名将与最初注册时分配给猫的猫名相同（如谱系上所印）。除了使用繁育人注册的CFA猫舍名称以及在适用的情况下添加新猫舍后缀外，我们对名称进行任何更改都需要获得繁育人的签字许可。关于猫名的允许长度将适用于CFA的注册规则，以及以猫的繁育人的名义在CFA注册的任何猫舍名的使用。

注：来自特定协会的谱系，只要该谱系经过认证（由注册人签字/或加盖协会印章），提供所有所需信息，并包含待注册品种所需的背景世代数，均可用于注册目的。所需信息包括背景中所有猫的名称、颜色（或颜色代码）和注册号。这些猫的品种和颜色必须符合CFA要求的注册猫的对应品种。如果您不确定某个协会的血统是否会被（CFA）接受，请在购买猫和/或系谱之前，向（CFA）中央办公室咨询协会的名称和地点。

（译者注：这一段直译比较生硬，大意说的是转会过来的猫咪必须符合CFA的要求才可以，如果不能确定CFA是否接受某个品种/花色，可以咨询CFA，后面我会贴上联系邮箱）

如果不能从当前协会获得一个谱系，包括注册该特定品种所需的所有背景世代数，CFA将接受一个以上的认证谱系，以获得所需的证明文件。我们将接受一份认证谱系或申请猫只的父母（或更需要体现到谱系的猫）的注册证书的复印件。

②记录猫只：猫可以只为了繁殖而单独记录，除了参加选秀比赛。记录的要求与通过谱系进行个人登记的要求相同，只是少需要一代祖先（的证明）。记录猫只可能不会出现在CFA的选秀比赛上。对于只有4代血统的猫来说，这可能是一个可行的选择。

（译者注：这一段大意说的是，当你无法提供5代谱系时，可以提供4代谱系来转会到CFA，但是只能用作繁育记录，无法参加shows，也就是我们所说的选秀比赛。）

③AOV（Any Other Variety 任何其他品种）注册：在某些情况下，猫的背景（颜色和/或品种）可能会导致猫在CFA中注册为不同的品种，而不是它在原注册处被列为的品种。例如，在另一个注册处注册为暹罗猫，但其背景里的谱系体现的颜色/品种是CFA不接受的暹罗品种，就会被CFA注册为暹罗以外的品种。

注：以下品种需要的认证谱系的世代数在品种名称后的括号中注明：阿比西尼亚猫（8）、美国刚毛猫（4）、巴厘猫（3或5）、波米拉猫（4）、夏特尔猫（4）、德文卷毛猫（3）、欧洲缅甸猫（8-仅北美注册）、呵叻猫（3）、波斯猫（8）、布偶猫（3）、俄罗斯蓝猫（8），苏格兰折耳猫（4）、赛尔凯克卷毛猫（仅可使用注册证书注册，无需系谱）、暹罗猫（8）、西伯利亚猫（3）、斯芬克斯猫（3）、东奇尼猫（3）和土耳其安哥拉猫（3）。所有其他品种需要5代。

在其他协会获得的头衔和奖项将不会被记录或显示在CFA记录上。

要确定您的非CFA注册猫是否可以在我们这注册，请邮寄或电子邮件（发送）您希望注册的猫的至少4代血统，并包括一个请求注册信息的说明。出于初步审查的目的，谱系不需要认证，也可以是复印件。请注意，一旦确定猫有资格通过谱系注册，以后可能需要官方认证的谱系，以便向CFA申请实际注册过程。

可从猫的繁育人或者猫现在注册的协会获得血统信息，只供审查之用。谱系必须包括在谱系中的所有猫的名字，登记号码和颜色（或品种/颜色代码）。如果您还没有任何可用的谱系信息，并且您需要从原注册处购买经认证的谱系，请注意，尽管CFA只需要查看前4代以供审查，但为了完成实际的注册过程，可能需要更多代（谱系）。如果适用的话，你可以向注册协会询问从最初购买的4代升级到5代或8代的费用。

通过邮件或电子邮件向CFA发送您想要注册的猫的谱系复印件和猫目前注册所在协会的猫注册证书复印件。包括请求注册信息的信函。该谱系将被审查。要么退回给您，或我们将通过电子邮件与您联系做进一步的指示。审查过程需要15美元。实际注册的费用将在回信中解释，回信中还将包括您完成CFA注册所需的任何表格。

（译者注：没有通过也要收15美元。）

如果确定该猫可以使用认证的谱系在CFA注册，则通过谱系注册猫的费用为40.00美元。如果您的猫不能在CFA注册，CFA将保留$40.00费用中的$15.00。CFA接受信用卡支付所有服务。如果是刷卡支付，请填写：

• 信用卡号：

• 到期日期：

• CVV号码（VISA&MC卡背面三个号码或AE卡正面四个号码）：

• 持卡人姓名：

• 持卡人账单地址

• 街道：

• 国家：

（译者注：国内使用VISA信用卡网页支付按照需要填写的信息来填写即可。）

本处收到申请及付款后，请预留15-30个工作日办理注册手续。说明应包括要列为所有者的姓名，以及将邮寄地址打印在猫证书上方便邮寄。

（译者注：你们平时注册个证书半个月不见批下来的太正常了···）

如果您已经拥有当前协会颁发的您的猫的认证谱系，请将该谱系的复印件邮寄或通过电子邮件发送到CFA中心办公室，并请求注册猫。我们建议，如果可能的话，注册申请应通过电子邮件或邮件提交，而不是传真，传真打印时通常很难阅读。保留原件以备存档。包括40美元的费用。使用其他协会的认证谱系申请注册时，请使用我们的谱系注册表。确认好你想做的任何补充或更改（通过一封随信或电子邮件），包括添加猫舍后缀、所有者姓名和地址。如果CFA注册部门可以使用收到的文件来给猫注册，它将照做。如果注册部门无法注册您的猫，他们将退还您的申请并（从40美元中）减去15美元的手续费，并提供进一步的说明。如果您通过电子邮件提交，注册部门将通过电子邮件回复您。此类注册申请不能使用CFA的在线注册服务提交。请将所有文件发送至：
