For purebred cats, responsible breeding is about much more than appearance. It ensures health, temperament, and the preservation of the breed itself. Unfortunately, in Canada, it is quite common for people to overlook this and mix breeds without knowledge of genetics or the possible consequences.

Problems Caused by Irresponsible Breeding

When owners without experience in breeding pair their purebred cats with “just any cat,” it can lead to serious issues:

• Genetic Disorders – due to lack of health testing and selective breeding.

• Weakened Immune Systems – random mixes often compromise natural resilience.

• Behavioural Issues – Kittens that are not socialized properly may develop fear, aggression, or withdrawal.

• Shortened Lifespan – chronic health problems often appear much earlier.

The Role of Ethical Breeders

Ethical breeders care about much more than producing kittens. They ensure that:

• Parents are registered with recognized feline organizations.

• Full pedigree and ancestry are documented.

• Cats are carefully selected for health and temperament, not just looks.

• Kittens are raised in a loving, cage-free environment to support healthy social development.
