We the undersigned would request that the GCCF Executive Council put in safeguards to ensure that Registered Pedigree Names of kittens either bred after or prior to the 24 June not be changed by the addition of a Suffix without the breeder of said kitten being notified and giving approval in writing.
We would request that this happens for kittens with a prefix and those with a GCCF Prefix alike. Furthermore we would ask that this rule apply to adult cats who are rehomed or re-sold at any point in their lifetime.
The scale of this feedback has successfully brought the issue to the attention of the GCCF Executive Council. I am currently coordinating a formal meeting with their representatives to present our specific requirements for breeder oversight. I will provide a summary of the outcomes from that discussion as soon as it concludes.

Too many people changing registered names without asking. Disrespectful to the hard work breeders put in. Fix this.

Ridiculous that this isnt a rule already. Please make it happen. My cats pedigree is part of his history and shouldnt just be messed with by someone else.

The breeder should always have the final say on the name of a cat they brought into the world. It is only fair to keep them in the loop.
