There is some risk inherent to the adoption of a mixed breed kitten or cat.  Little is known of the animal’s background and current state of health, even less can be predicted about its future development.  Such kittens, however, are not initially costly.  Purebred kittens are expensive, and as a buyer, you have the right to certain advantages and guarantees. 

 

 

Ethical breeders evaluate their kittens by the same process used by professional judges at cat shows.  Such pets are in great demand, for they reflect the health, personalities and the physical qualities that define the ideal example of their breed.  Only those kittens with the potential to mirror their breed standard closely are considered for breeding or showing.  You should expect to pay $1200.00 and up for a pet Exotic kitten.  Be certain that you get the quality that you pay for.

 

 

Buy from an established reputable breeder.  Raising and showing cats is my hobby, not a business.

Raising kittens properly costs a great deal.  Each kitten represents years of effort, care, research and financial investment.  The quality of nutrition and medical care received in a kitten's first few months will be reflected in its lifelong health. 

 

 

 

Cleanliness, or lack of, will be related to the physical condition of your kitten.  Kittens need a great deal of handling and affection in the first few weeks of life, to become a loving pet in your home.  Do not accept a kitten that is too young.   Never purchase a kitten that has not been inoculated against the preventable diseases.   You have the right to insist on a pet free of disease, parasites and ringworm.  Conscientious breeders protect their kittens; their ethics protect you, the buyer.  Do not accept a kitten unaccompanied by instructions for its care, immunization schedule, neuter, feeding and grooming needs.  Do not buy on impulse; be prepared to provide the necessary care and companionship for the lifetime of the kitten.
