A
polite note to any 'time-wasters'
Pedigree kittens
aren't cheap to buy for good
reasons. Breeding cats have to be bought, often for many hundreds of
pounds, possibly even imported, suitable accommodation provided,
quality food and litter, veterinary care, stud fees and many others factors all
have to be taken into consideration. Kittens from reputable
breeders are sold with inoculations, pedigrees and registrations,
microchips, etc. and all these things really cost.
When one obtains a
kitten for little cost, or even for nothing, there is normally little
or no investment in the health and welfare made by the vendor and no
form of come-back if things go wrong. Remember, you get what you pay
for.
Breeders are less
than keen to spend valuable time showing kittens to potential
purchasers who expect to pay the absolute bare minimum or even
nothing. Please consider just what goes in to those pedigree kittens,
how much time, effort and care the breeder has taken to ensure they
are healthy and well-adjusted. Always establish the price and what is
included before visiting potential purchases. 'Time wasters' are
often mentioned to fellow breeders to warn them in advance!
Consider a rescue
cat, of which there are many out there in need of good homes, if
financing a pedigree is a problem.
