The Licensee is not keeping required acquisition records for the Bengal kittens. The Licensee is not currently keeping an updated record of animals on hand for any offspring born on the premise. During inspection, a total of 9 kittens from 2 different litters are housed with their queens. The licensee’s APHIS Form 7005 record on hand lists 7 adult cats and 0 kittens. The licensee has purchased index cards for kitten cage records but has not put them in use. Not having proper record keeping for the facilities does not allow for proper trace back of animals during a disease outbreak and does not allow for accountability or identification of the animals during inspection. The Licensee must ensure that she keeps and maintains records that fully and correctly disclose all information concerning each cat that has been born on the premises.
