Hello i need someone to help me with getting tica form asap since its driving me crazy!!
I got my sphynx kitten from the cattery last month. When i was picking the kitten, the cattery owner said she will send it by mail because she has to receive the form from tica too. I waited for few weeks later and nothing came. I texted her about the form and she said because of all the holidays she still not received the form yet. She said she will notify me before she mail it to me. Its been a month now and im not sure if she lied to me about the tica form? Does tica registration form takes long like this or is it just me? Should i talk to her again? Will tica help me with this? How does the tica registraion works?? Help me! Im very concerned:cry:

I believe your breeder is the only one who can actually register your kitten as then need to supply proof of her breeding cats’ bloodlines etc. it does take a while. We have seen some never have their breeder provide them unfortunately. I know we all like to have the proof, but unless you are going to breed, there is nothing more you will really do with the papers. I’d give your breeder another call and just ask for an estimated time. Breeders often have other full-time jobs and have to balance their time with the responsibilities of breeding, not to mention like you said we just got through with the holidays.
