HOW MUCH FOR A KITTEN???

​

  Behind every pure-bred cat is a Breeder.

Moreover, in front of him there are also many breeders who worked and put their souls into the development of the breed.

  A responsible, reputable and ethical Breeder does not breed cats without papers, or pedigree certificates. These registration papers/pedigree certificates protect the integrity of the breed, and are records of lineage, that document bloodline, history and heritage. It also allows a Breeder or Pet Owner, to research any possible health issues present in the lineage. When you choose to buy a cat from a responsible, reputable and ethical Breeder, this Breeder is responsible for the health of every cat; Queen’s and Studs owned by them and every cat they have sold in their lifetime.

  This Breeder will skip holidays, will only sleep a few hours a night, when the time comes for a Queen to go into labour to safely delivery her kittens. Most of the Breeder’s personal house space, has been turned into space for their cats. The truly passionate Breeder who loves what they breed, puts their whole heart and soul into it. Not only in kittens that are sold, but also in each Pet Owner who owns a piece of their extended family. This does not take into account any kitten/cat who might get sick or need extra help to thrive. Breeders worry about their babies after they leave and will take a kitten/cat back without question.

  A Breeder will get their hands dirty, often covered in everything accompanied with birthing, kitten weaning, and litterbox training. Because that is what life is about……… In the middle of birth, and death, is life. The wheel that keeps turning. A breeder will do tests, echoes, x-rays, analysis, emergency c sections, vaccinations, sterilizations, deworm, microchip, register cats and litters, and have them evaluated by specialists.

  Last, but by no means least, a breeder CHOOSES the family lucky enough to have one of their kittens. Yes, you read that right. A true breeder chooses who they sell to because there is no compensation that can offset the investment a Breeder has made so they need to be confident it is the right fit. A good Breeder will have different criteria for those wanting to carry on their bloodline. Because breeding is not a responsibility to ever be taken lightly, it is a lifestyle choice, set aside for ONLY the few devoted people willing to sacrifice.

​

  Because a cat is never “just a pet” it is a Breeder’s legacy, a little boy’s best friend, a little girls protector, an elderly persons therapy, a member of the family, someone’s whole world!
