Where To Find A
Pedigreed Cat
Some cat breeders
advertise in newspapers or on the Internet. This is hit and miss as there is no guarantee they
are reputable. Some people will produce kittens of the most popular breeds
purely for profit, they show little concern for the future welfare of the
kittens.
A good
idea is to ask your local veterinary surgery or clinic for good breeders in
your area. Often one cat breeder will recommend another if they can’t help you.
Some cat breeders are large scale and have catteries, and others may just use
one queen. Either can be good. It’s also a good idea to visit cat shows
before you buy. You will find enthusiastic owners and breeders who will
explain about their breeds and available stock. Find out about cat shows
from one of the specialist cat magazines.
Another way
to find a good cat breeder is to ask for recommendations from your friends
and family. If they have successfully taken a pedigree cat, that is fit and
healthy and have found the cat breeder to be pleasant and easy to work with,
then it is worth asking for the contact information.
If you
visit a cat breeder and you don't feel right about it, then trust your
instinct. It could be anything, but find a cat breeder you are comfortable
with, this way should you have any questions at a later date you will not
worry about asking them.
