REFR is a "paper registry only" and is not recognized by any of the major cat associations, such as TICA (The International Cat Association) or CFA (Cat Fanciers' Association). REFR will register any cat for US$10–20.[10] As of 2018, the North Carolina Secretary of State provides no record of a licensed business by this name (officially or as an assumed business name) in the state.[11]
