Let me say a few words to you, the person who writes an email or message to simply ask the price. The person who also calls and surprisedly states: “I can buy a cheaper cat elsewhere”. I also address you; the person who just wants “a pet”. Not a single cat is just a cat. Behind every pure-bred cat is a BREEDER. I’m using capital letters to differentiate a breeder from a pet factory, the I have kittens available all year type of people. When you select to buy a cat from a breeder, this breeder is responsible for the health of every cat; owned and also sold. This breeder will skip holidays, sleeping, laying in bed and most of their own house space as this will be turned into space for their cats. The truly passionate breeder who loves what they breed puts their whole heart into it. Not only in kittens that are sold but also in those who get sick and die. A breeder will get their hands dirty, often covered in placentas and mud. Because that’s what life is about: birth and death. In the middle of birth and death is life. The wheel that keeps turning. A breeder will do progesterone tests, echos, Xrays, analysis, c sections, vaccinations, research pedigrees, deworm, as well as chipping their kittens and getting them evaluated by specialists.
