| cat Breeders Information -
It’s hard to ignore the statistics.
Today, cats are the number one pet in the nation.
If you're in search of a reliable breeder, you should know
a few facts before selecting a breeder.
Assuming, now you have narrowed your choice
of breeds down to a just few. It’s time to find a trustworthy
cat breeder.
Selecting a responsible breeder can be accomplished
in a few ways. Find and contact a Breeder listed on our website,
get an idea of what is available and what you might expect
to pay for the kitten, health papers, kennel and shipping
if you cannot travel to pick up your kitten. Ask the breeder
for their veterinarian's name and phone number.
A responsible breeder will be happy to give
you his/her veterinarians name and phone number. Call and
ask about living conditions and cleanliness of the cattery,
in addition to any health factors he feels you should know
about.
Cat breeders who are not actively promoting
their breed by exhibiting their cats, are commonly classified
in the cat world as back yard breeders and possible pet mills.
Pick a breeder that you feel comfortable
talking with. Be prepared to spend some time with the breeder
and do not be surprised if the breeder interviews you. Remember,
a responsible breeder has given their love and many hours
of work to each little kitten; therefore, they want to be
assured that their kittens are going into loving homes, with
responsible owners.
Insist on a written bill of sale, health records listing any
special dietary needs, allergies and/or medical conditions
and health guaranteed in writing.
Keep in mind that purchasing a cat/kitten from a reputable
breeder does not mean the feline is automatically going to
cost more. Actually, it is often a lot cheaper. |
