Kitten buying tips:
- Always check all documentation when purchasing a kitten is legal and relevant. If you are promised a TICA Registered kitten then do not accept the kitten withouth the TICA paperwork.
- Do your homework and also get references as a lot of kittens have false paperwork or they do not legally own the cat they have bred from.
- NEVER send money to someone via wire transfer/ Western Union as it is known to be used by scammers.
- Always pay directly via your bank to their bank account and be given a receipt.
- Make sure you have a look at the pedigree before you pay a deposit on the kitten to make sure you are happy with it before you buy for breeding!
- Ask to see kittens from the Queen and Sire to evaluate how your kitten could potentially look when older.
