Hi!
So I'm in a bit of a pickle and need some advice. I paid a deposit for a "purebred" ragdoll, only to realize recently that the kitten will not be registered (aka no way to prove he's purebred). The deposit is non-refundable, so I can't back out now. I know I'm a noob, I should've done my research and chose a reputable breeder. Oh well, you live and you learn .
My question is, is the breeder the only one who can register the kitten? I was hoping to show the kitten, maybe just once. According to the breeder, both parents have papers but aren't registered, so the kitten can't be registered. I'm paying a bunch for the kitten already, so I don't mind spending a little extra at this point. Would it be possible to somehow register the parents, then him? Or is there anything I can do at this point?
Thanks!
