The World Cat Congress does not support the new development of breeds based on mutations or characteristics that have a negative effect on the welfare of the cat.
SACC encourages DNA testing in an attempt to promote such testing as a management tool in improved and ethical breeding practices.

DISCLAIMER AND WARNING
Please be aware that there are many cat sales scam operations. These companies or individuals often do not give a physical address other than a website address which is generally filled with named individual kittens for sale. Unfortunately these companies/individuals can be very plausible and will persuade you that the kittens are selling quickly and that payment must be made immediately. It is highly suggested that you do adequate research about the catteries and individuals before sending any money.
SACC strongly recommends that transactions with Breeders be undertaken with the same caution and due diligence as one would devote to any business matter.
