Breeding Cattery
A breeding cattery is where cats are bred. Cats may be bred as a hobby, or on a commercial basis where they are sold for profit.
The Feline Advisory Bureau (FAB), a long-established cat charity in the United Kingdom, has defined standards for the construction and management of boarding catteries. FAB standards are in addition to those set by local councils for licensing purposes.
In the United States, there are two main cat registries - the Cat Fanciers Association (CFA) and The International Cat Association (TICA) which establish standards for member breeders. These cat registries also award certificates for catteries that have been inspected for healthy environments. Additionally, many U.S. States and municipalities, along with the Federal government, provide some regulations of breeding catteries.

Famous quotes containing the word breeding:
“The Fashionable World is grown free and easie; our Manners sit more loose upon us: Nothing is so modish as an agreeable Negligence. In a word, Good Breeding shows it self most, where to an ordinary Eye it appears the least.”
—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
