Frequently Asked Questions

The Čumáčky project is developed by the Czech company Inventing Animals s.r.o., which specializes in software development. Besides Čumáčky, it is involved in creating custom financial and corporate systems. Its owners are passionate animal lovers, long-time former breeders of Norwegian Forest Cats in FIFe and TICA (CHS Od Věže/Moseland).

Neither the project nor Inventing Animals s.r.o. are associated with any breeding organization. The project is fully funded by its own resources without external influences and without the involvement of breeding organizations. We are and will always fundamentally be apolitical, independent, and free. We support responsible breeding and care about the health and welfare of all animals.

The goal of the Čumáčky project is to create a community of people who love pets and want to share their joy. The Čumáčky project is now ready for cats, but we are also preparing space for other animals.

We love all cats, regardless of whether they have a pedigree or not. Even if you can't use all the features designed for breeders, you will surely find many interesting pieces of information and tools here, and the opportunity to share your joy with others.

We use the maximum available resources to prevent the registration of animals from mills and any other use of our products by breeders. Pedigrees created in Čumáčky are irreversibly marked to prevent them from being confused with official pedigrees.

We use legal tools of breeding organizations and require entering breeding station codes (TICA) and microchips for cats (FIFe). Breeding stations in FIFe must be assigned to a special organization SCHK upon registration. Breeding stations outside of FIFe and TICA do not have access to breeder functions (pedigrees, kitten advertising, etc.). Registration of animals and breeding stations is subject to manual control by website administrators against public registers of breeding organizations.

You have access to features for education and recording health data of cats without restrictions. We care that animals are healthy and have good conditions from responsible owners, so we provide these features for free.

Čumáčky is constantly evolving, and we want it to serve you and bring you joy. We will be happy if you let us know what we can improve.

You have the option to keep all the animals you have already created. However, according to your current plan, you may not be able to add new ones. Animals that exceed the limit of your plan will retain all the functions available within your current, lower plan. However, you will lose access to functions that are not part of the lower plan (web presentation, mating and litter books, etc.), even if you created them under the previous plan.

You can terminate your membership at any time without giving a reason.
