Fanciers Breeder Referral List (FBRL)

Last Updated: March 16, 2010

New service levels! The FBRL now has two service levels for listers -- Standard and Premium service. To find out more about what these offer, see the Ad Types FAQ.

Also new in 2010, Litter Announcements are free to paid cattery listing subscribers. Go to the breeders' page for a link to posting your own litters. Also, Retired Friends will start posting throughout the week, not just on Fridays.

Twitter! The FBRL now has Twitter feeds: FBRLBreeders, FBRLRetired and FBRLLitters. FBRL Breeders will give announcements of interest to subscribed catteries, including promotions and future site improvements. Be the first to find out about new Retired Friends listings and new Litter Announcements.

Burmese Welcome to the Fanciers Breeder Referral List, the oldest dedicated pedigreed cat breeder referral service on the World Wide Web. Founded and operated by a cat breeder for cat breeders, the FBRL has been operating since November 1994, and hosts over 2,400 listings in over 20 countries.

There are five main areas to the FBRL:

For Cat Seekers: Begin your journey here if you are looking for your next feline friend. This gives you options to search for cat breeders by breed, location, cattery name, or cat breeder name. It also links you to the FBRL breed pages, rich sources of information about your favorite cat breeds. Contact breeders directly to find out about your favorite breeds, cats for sale, kittens for sale, or upcoming litters. You can also view Litter Announcements to find out who has the newest kitten on the block.

For Breeders: Find out how the FBRL can help you connect with more potential homes for your cats and kittens. Start a new listing, update a new listing, renew your subscription, or find out how to list your own kittens under Litter Announcements.

Retired Friends: The original service on the World Wide Web for matching retired adult show and breeder cats with new pet homes, Retired Friends has helped place more than 2,500 retirees since its start in January 1996. Find an altered adult looking for a new home, or, if you are a breeder listed with the FBRL, list your own spayed or neutered adult cats looking for a "forever" family.

Resources: Find FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions), articles, the FBRL Bookstore, and the FBRL Logo Items Store here. All articles, links, and books have been pre-screened for relevance to the pedigreed cat fancier.

About the FBRL: What is the FBRL all about -- and who is behind it? This section has policies about the use of FBRL data, linking to the FBRL, and banners. It also has a comprehensive list of how to contact the FBRL by email, fax, or regular mail.
