Looking for a Kintraks alternative? Meet Perfect Pedigrees.
Kintraks has served cat breeders well for years — a low-cost, one-off desktop pedigree program that covers the basics. But it is still desktop software: tied to a single computer, no cloud backup, nothing on your phone or tablet at a show, and built for any species rather than the cat fancy. If you would rather keep your pedigrees and records in your browser, on any device, Perfect Pedigrees is the modern alternative — and we will bring your Kintraks data across for you, free.

Why breeders move on from Kintraks
- One computer, one copy. Kintraks lives on a single Windows or Mac machine. Lose the PC or miss a backup and your lines go with it.
- Nothing in your pocket. No browser, no app — you cannot pull up a pedigree at a show or a vet visit.
- Built for any species. It is a general family-tree tool, so it does not understand GCCF registration-number formats, breed numbers, or current GCCF and TICA titles.
- One developer, one platform. A single-author desktop program is always one operating-system update away from trouble.
None of this makes Kintraks bad — at a one-off price it is remarkable value. The only question is whether desktop-only still suits how you breed.

Your Kintraks data comes with you — we do the moving
Export your data from Kintraks and we migrate it for you, free for early-list members. No retyping, no fresh start — every cat, every ancestor and every photo we can recover. We build our importers on real breeder databases (including a Breeders Assistant set of over 90,000 cats), so we know how to get records out of old programs safely.
Don’t want software at all? We’ll do it for you.
Plenty of breeders just want the pedigrees, not another program to learn. Perfect Pedigrees has a done-for-you service: send your kittens’ details — even a photo of a handwritten pedigree — and we produce printed, branded certificates and post them to you. Hundreds of breeders already use this service through our shop.
Who’s behind it
Perfect Pedigrees is built by Ross Davies — GCCF breeder (Burnthwaites/Ezbritz Siamese & Orientals), GCCF judge, and the person who has personally produced thousands of pedigrees for breeders across the UK and beyond, for GCCF and TICA alike. Built inside the British cat fancy, for it.

Frequently asked questions
Is Kintraks still available?
Yes. Kintraks is still sold as a low-cost, one-off desktop licence. Perfect Pedigrees is the browser-based alternative for breeders who want cloud backup, multi-device access and cat-registry-native features.
Can I import my Kintraks data into Perfect Pedigrees?
Yes. Kintraks can export your data, and our importer reads those exports — we do the move for you, free for early-list members.
How is Perfect Pedigrees different from Kintraks?
It runs in any browser, stores your data safely in the cloud, and is built for the cat fancy — GCCF and TICA titles, colours and registration details, COI against a 90,000-cat database, plus litters, matings and a buyer waiting list. Kintraks is a low-cost desktop family-tree program for any species.
Does Perfect Pedigrees work for GCCF and TICA?
Yes — pedigrees and certificates use the right terminology, titles and colour names for GCCF or TICA, not one-size-fits-all.
What does it cost?
Pricing is announced at launch. Early-list members get the founder offer first — joining the list is free and commits you to nothing.
