NOW AVAILABLE!               IN STOCK!

 

The most highly praised book for novice and experienced responsible breeders of pedigreed cats is back - bigger, better, and more affordable!

 

Protecting Your Right to Breed Pedigreed Cats!

 

The co-authors of Breeding Pedigreed Cats (2nd ed.) will be donating a portion of their royalties from sales of their book, from what ever source, to the Sy Howard Legislative Fund to help in the fight to protect our rights to breed pedigreed cats. The Sy Howard Legislative Fund provides support in the ongoing fight against anti-breeder legislation and ordinances, such as those now pending in places from the District of Columbia to California. These donations will start immediately and continue indefinately.

 

                                          

 

Written by breeders for breeders!     

From the Award-winning Authors of Robinson’s Genetics for Cat Breeders and
Veterinarians (4th Edition, 1999), Breeding Pedigreed Cats (1997), and In The Spotlight:
A Guide To Showing Pedigreed And Household Pet Cats (1990).

       

Easier to use – At the suggestion of breeders, the book is spiral bound – so you can keep it open to a critical section when you most need it!

Expanded – 10% longer, including coverage of the Cat Fancy around the world, and a bigger Glossary of key terms.
More pictures – In addition to its groundbreaking photos of a kitten being born and delivered, it includes helpful photos on subjects like bottle-feeding newborns.
Brand new appendix – With contact information on major registries around the world, plus resources on subjects from blood typing to poison emergencies.
Affordable – The first edition retailed for $24.95 (10 years ago!) and has been selling in the used book market at $150.00 or more. This edition is just $24.00 (plus postage and handling).
