Re the above - if those pet shop cats/kittens are from Oz, you're VERY unlikely to be able to get official papers for them. (Yep - they usually come with a breeder's ped, which could be a wonderfully creative piece of work!)

Point is that very often the litters/kittens weren't registered in order for them not to be able to be traced back to the breeder who is acting in breach of ethics by participating in the pet trade to S E A. They're hardly likely to go back to their registry and say "Hey - I had this litter a year ago which I forgot to register...here's the money and can you now transfer that cat to XYZ in Malaysia, please?"
