Hi, I am a small hobby breeder of Bengal cats, all my cats are pets first and foremost and we breed the occasional litter of Bengal kittens, we love the breed and rear all our kittens indoors, we donnot have a large cattery and just two runs in the garden one stud run and the other for the girls to go out and play we are now being told by the council that breeding cats is a commercial business and you are not allowed to breed pedigree cats from a private dwelling [ your home ].
If there are any other breeders out there who have been through the same or similar expiriences or know someone else who has and could offer some advice it would be much appreciated.
Our cats are our life and we could not bear to be without them.
We have contacted the gccf who are going to wite to them in our favour stating that small hobby breeders are just that they are not a commercial business so we are keeping our fingers crossed all will go well.
