If a printed and certified pedigree/registration is required, the fee is R50.00/7.00 Euro. It is possible to re-register a cat with a CASA registration number, at the standard cost and by using the standard registration form, but not a requirement and the exception, rather than the rule.
Electronic copies of registration documents are provided via e-mail to breeders or new owners of transferred cats free of charge.
From 1 October 2023, laminated hard copies of registrations will only be posted on request and on receipt of payment of R50 per pedigree inside South Africa and 10 Euro outside South Africa. This is due to the unreliable postal service. Please note that you have to request the hard copies and attach the POP in a reply to this e-mail from 1 October 2023.
Surcharge per registration application, when forms incomplete, the instructions not being followed, or old forms used, etc., leading to enquiries from Registrar.

The above services are also available to members from other countries, but fees are adjusted according to the cost of postage. Enquire directly to the Registrar for the specific fee at the time of service.

CASA – New Breeders: Mentor
From 2025, CASA requires all new breeders to prove their commitment to the maintaining or improving their chosen breed/s, by providing proof of show experience by means of owning at least one cat with a minimum show title of Grand Champion/Premier, before applying for a cattery name.
From 2022, CASA requires all new breeders, who register a cattery for the first time, to have a formal mentor who will guide and support them in all aspects of cat breeding & exhibiting. The registrar is unable to mentor new breeders due to time restrictions and all questions regarding breeding, registering, including the paperwork should be directed to the mentor. Only if the mentor is unable to find the relevant information, should the mentor approach the registrar for information.
The requirements for a mentor include the following, but is not restricted to:
- Breeding experience for a minimum of two years.
- Current valid membership of CASA.
- WCF cattery registration for a minimum of two years.
- Registration of at least one litter during the past two years.
- Show experience by means of owning at least one cat with a CASA or Independent show title of SA Grand Premier/Champion.
- Knowledge and understanding of the EMS breed code system.
- Knowledge and understanding of all the relevant application forms for CASA and Independent clubs, including membership application, litter registration, transfer of cats & show entries. Checking of all forms completed by new breeders, before sending to the Registrar or Show manager.
- Knowledge and understanding of Feline husbandry, healthcare and problem solving, including birthing, weaning and raising of kittens.
- Availability to reply to all questions and enquiries from the new breeder and guidance of where to find information, saving time for the Registrar.
- The mentor must have enough time and resources available to provide the necessary physical and emotional support as needed by the new breeder, especially during times of trouble, which is inevitable for breeders.
- If a mentor withdraws or fails to provide the necessary mentorship within a two-year period after the new breeder joined CASA, a new mentor must be provided by the breeder in order to remain a breeder member. The new mentor must be qualified according to the same rules as above.
- Mentors may accept more than one new breeder as mentor and new breeders may be under the mentorship of more than one mentor.
- No requests for exceptions for whatever reason will be accepted.
