Executive Summary about Pets Cats by CS Swarens

Are you interested in buying a purebred cat or kitten? Finding the Right Breeder.The most important step in buying a purebred cat is to find a responsible breeder. As a general rule of thumb, you should look for a breeder who:

• Does not sell the kittens until they are at least 12 weeks old
• Is willing to answer all of your questions and to back claims with the proper paperwork
• Asks you plenty of questions to make certain the cat is going to a good home
• Is a member of at least one pets cats organization
• Takes steps to screen for hereditary diseases that are associated with that particular breed
• Requires kittens to be neutered or spayed
• Is honest and straightforward about both the advantages and disadvantages of owning the breed you are interested in
• Provides references for you to contact
• Appears to know each kitten as an individual, which demonstrates that the breeder spends time handling and socializing with the kittens

Remember, a responsible breeder does not treat the kittens as merchandise. Rather, the breeder takes the time to match the kittens and the owners carefully in order to make certain everyone will be happy with the kitten’s new home.

Getting the Proper Paperwork

A responsible breeder will not charge “extra” to provide you with paperwork or to register your kitten.

• Registration papers
• Health clearance paperwork
• Title certificates
• Pedigrees

Any other claims the breeder makes regarding the kitten or its lineage should also be backed by paperwork, all of which the breeder should be willing to make copies of so you can have the paperwork for your records as well.
