Gee, a breeder who continuously raises the price of the cat. Sounds like she's holding the papers for ransom. Wouldn't say it is a reputable breeder or they would stand by their word. All you can do is negotiate. If the cat is registered with TICA then there is a transfer form that has to be filled out. It's on the back of the registration. It sound as if you're wanting to breed the cat. You can always go to bengalpedigrees.com and put in the registered name of the cat and get the registration number. I don't know how you can get around a breeder who refuses to hand over the papers unless you pay them a huge amount of money, but unless the registering agency has any transfer information, the breeder is still the registered owner of the cat.
