What is a Pedigreed Cat and Why is it Important to Choose a Registered Breeder
A pedigreed cat is one whose ancestry is carefully documented for multiple generations, ensuring that each kitten comes from a line that has been bred with intention, consistency, and ethical standards.
A pedigree is more than a piece of paper—it’s a verified record of lineage, breed authenticity, and responsible breeding practices. For Maine Coons, this means you’re getting a Maine Coon kitten that truly represents the breed’s health, temperament, size, and stunning characteristics.
Choosing a TICA-registered breeder is one of the most important steps a buyer can take. TICA (The International Cat Association) is one of the world’s largest and most trusted feline registries, setting strict guidelines for ethical breeding, health practices, and animal welfare. A TICA-registered breeder is held to a professional code of conduct and must maintain accurate records, perform proper genetic and health screening, and uphold the true standard of the breed.
When you choose a TICA-registered cattery like Aristocatic Maine Coons, you’re choosing transparency, accountability, and quality. You’re ensuring that your kitten comes from a healthy, well-managed bloodline and a breeder who prioritizes honesty, responsible practices, and lifelong support. It’s the best way to protect your investment—and to welcome a happy, well-bred Maine Coon into your family.
