It has been noticed recently that some breeders are applying for a prefix, and after it has been approved are trying to register kittens that were born before the application was made. Please note that only kittens that are born after the application has been received by GCCFI can be registered under the prefix. Every application has to be checked with records to make sure the prefix applied for is not already in use and then goes to the Executive for approval. Please allow time for this and for any queries that may arise.
