| The
International Progressive Cat Breeders' Alliance, (IPCBA) founded in 1996
is the first registry of its kind, uniting breeders and enthusiasts of
all breeds of cats in one unique registry. IPCBA is composed of Chartered
Breed Associations. In IPCBA, chartered Breed associations work similar
to the manner in which Breed committees function in other registries.
The main difference is that IPCBA gives full control of the breed to the
breed charters. Full control means that the breed charter determines
(among other things): 1) the breed standard for their individual
breed, 2) point allocation, 3) breed groups, 4) permissible out crosses,
5) what individual colors and patterns are acceptable for championship.
In contrast, other registries dictate how the breed standard must be written,
for example 1) point allocation, 2) one has to apply to have a color or
pattern accepted for championship, and 3) in the case of adding one simple
dilute, all colors in the dilute category would have to be accepted.......
this is not so in IPCBA. |

|
| The
founders of the International Progressive Cat Breeders' Alliance believe
that the breeding of all animals is an art form, and as such, breeders
should have the freedom to express themselves and their vision for their
breed (s) in their breeding programs. |
|
|
|
|
IPCBA
was developed to:
 |
|
Give
creative freedom to breeders to develop new breeds of cats and to preserve
the old breeds as they wish without interference from registries. |
|
|
|
|
|
Create
an international alliance among cat breeders and enthusiasts around the
world. |
|
|
|
|
|
Unite
breeders of all breeds of cats in one unique, powerful organization, in
which breeders work together to protect all cat breeds and their hobby
from restrictive legislation. |
|
| The
IPCBA currently recognizes 73 new and old breeds of cats, making it the
largest all-breed cat registry in the world. |
