HOW TO REGISTER A CATTERY NAME

Bearing in mind the requirement of a limit of 15 letters, characters and spaces for a Cattery Name and the limit of 35 letters, spaces, apostrophes and hyphens for the cats name, INCLUDING THE CATTERY NAME, it is advisable to keep the Cattery Name short.  This allows for the name of the cat.

Let’s say your Cattery Name is “Spectacular Mountain View”. Considering our 15 character limit, this is too long.  You can shorten it several ways.  Dropping the word “Spectacular” and just using “Mt. View” would work.  Using initials on your Registration Certificates such as SMV, still allows you to use the full name in your advertising.

In the rare instance that someone else has already registered your chosen Cattery Name, I have some suggestions.  Let’s say your choice of a Cattery Name is “Rose Petal”.   A spelling variation would work and still have the same pronunciation.  Examples are:  “Roze Petal”,  “Rose Pettal”, “Roz Petal”,  “Rose Petall” or the initials “RP”.  A little imagination comes up with a viable solution.
