I wish to register my cattery name with ACFA.  I understand the fee for registration is a one time charge only and the name approved will be for my exclusive use or for the use of those additionally named as co-owners.  I agree to abide by the rules and regulations of ACFA as pertaining to catteries.

Rules Pertaining to Cattery Name Registration

1. A cattery name (characters and spaces combined) may not exceed 15 letters and spaces.
2. Abbreviations or variations of registered cattery names are not permitted.
3. Registered cattery names may be added to a cat’s name as (1) a prefix, if the cat is bred by the owner of the cattery name, or (2) as a suffix, if the cat is owned, but not bred, by the owner of the cattery name.
4. The prefix cattery name denoting the breeder of the cat may NEVER be removed. However, the suffix cattery name may be removed and replaced with a new owner’s cattery name when the ownership of the cat is transferred.
5. The owner of a cattery name may add additional names as co-owners of the cattery name upon written notification to ACFA, surrendering the original registration certificate and upon payment of the appropriate fee (same fee as transfer of cattery name).
6. Ownership of a cattery name may be transferred by written notification to ACFA by the registered owner, surrendering of the original registration certificate and payment of the transfer fee.

I/We hereby apply for a CAT HAVEN suffix for use on such Household Pets as we choose to record with
ACFA. I/We agree to abide by the rules as follows: The CAT HAVEN name registered to me may never be
used as a prefix. It may be used only as a SUFFIX on such cats as are recorded with ACFA as HHPs and owned by me or members of my household. All cats having the CAT HAVEN suffix as part of their recorded name MUST BE altered on or before they reach 8 months of age. Pedigreed cats may carry the CAT HAVEN name as a suffix – only if registration certificates are surrendered and they are recorded as HHPs.
