At EZAcres, we proudly adhere to the ethical breeding standards and codes of conduct set forth by both TICA (The International Cat Association) and CFA (Cat Fanciers’ Association). These guidelines reflect our commitment to responsible breeding, transparency, health and well-being!

• I will breed discriminately, and only if I can find appropriate homes for my kittens. 
• I will place kittens only in homes that I believe will provide a life-long commitment of love, appreciation, and responsible care.
• Any kitten or cat sold as a pet/companion will be sold under the following conditions:
• I will guarantee that the kitten/cat is in good health at the time of sale.
• I will urge the purchaser to have the kitten/cat examined by the purchaser's own veterinarian within a few days of
  purchase to confirm its good health.
• I will explain to the purchaser the dangers of an outdoor environment.
• I will provide a written sales agreement that describes all the terms of the sale. I will abide by my own sales agreement.
• I will make every effort to spay/neuter every kitten/cat prior to leaving Breeder. If this should not be possible, I will
  require that the kitten be spayed or neutered no later than 12 months of age and not be allowed to produce any offspring. I will provide the TICA registration certificate and/or pedigree for the kitten/cat only after I have received written evidence from a licensed veterinarian that the kitten/cat has been altered.
• I will not release a kitten until it has been inoculated at least twice against the following: Panleukopenia, Feline Rhinotracheitis, and Calicivirus. I also may choose to give other vaccinations.

As a breeder who uses the services of the world’s largest registry of pedigreed cats, I understand I have certain responsibilities to pedigreed cats and to the Cat Fanciers’ Association (CFA).

• I am aware that I am representative of CFA breeders in my community.
• I will breed my cats with the intent of improving the breed and to produce healthy, happy kittens.
• I will deal honestly with the purchasers of my kittens and cats.
• To the best of my knowledge and ability I will not, without prior disclosure, sell any kitten/cat that is sick or has been exposed to an infectious disease.
• I will not sell or place kittens prior to their attaining a proper level of immunity against common infectious diseases.
• I will place cats directly to the new pet owner or in a manner that will enable contact with the ultimate owner to provide on-going education and advice.
• I will strive to house my cats in a manner exceeding the CFA Minimum Cattery Standard.
• I will ensure my cats are kept in a healthy environment and I will ensure they receive the proper veterinary care as needed.
• I will maintain appropriate cattery records and will correctly register litters and cats.
• I will work honestly with my fellow breeders and provide timely and correct litter registration information to those who use my cats for breeding.
• I will mentor new breeders to ensure they have a solid information foundation.
