Registered with a cat association:
Find out if the breeder is registered, who they are registered with and what their prefix is. Most cat associations list breeders on their website, if you cannot find a listing, contact the association to check the breeder is registered with them. Once you have their name and prefix, use a search engine (Google, Bing etc) and search for them. For example Julia Wilson, Julan Burmese (NB: I am not a cat breeder, this is a made-up prefix using a combination of mine and my husband’s names). See w...
Raises litters underfoot:
Most registered breeders produce litters on a small scale, which means each litter gets plenty of human interaction. As a rule, I prefer to buy from kittens who are raised underfoot, which means they grow up inside the home of the breeder instead of in an outside cattery. Breeders who have large numbers of cats may have to raise kittens in a cattery to keep cats separate and to maintain adequate hygiene, however, if the breeder only produces a small number of kittens, it should not be an issu...
Follows the breed standard:
Every cat breed has a standard of points (also known as a breed standard), to ensure that animals produced conform to the specifics of the breed. Not all kittens produced will conform to the exact standard, they may have a slight ‘fault’, such as a kink at the end of their tail, or a white locket on a solid cat, which have no impact on the cat’s health. These kittens are sold as ‘pet quality’, while most (not necessarily all) show/breeding quality kittens are retained or sold to onto other br...
Be wary of a breeder who tries to rush you into a purchase and doesn’t ask any questions. Most breeders will want to know about you, your family and your set-up before they allow you to take one of their kittens or cats home. 1. Have you ever had a cat before? What happened to it? 2. Do you currently have any pets? What kind of animal and how many?...
What is your prefix and which cat association are you registered with?How long have you been breeding?How many breeds do you produce each year?Do you perform screening tests for genetic disease?I understand this is hard during the COVID crisis, but if possible, visit the breeder and meet their cats. It’s a good way to see their set up, is the place clean, how many cats they have, do they appear to be in good health and assess the parents and kittens. Sometimes it may not be possible to visit the breeder if they are in another state or cou...
Cat breeder scams are frequent. Here is how a woman in Richmond, VA was scammed: she was excited to adopt ragdoll kittens to raise with her family. After some brief research, she found a breeder online who claimed to have kittens available right away. Their website seemed legit and she agreed to send him a deposit via a money transfer app. Two week...
If the breeder has photos of their cats on a website, run a reverse image search to make sure the images are unique and not stock photos. The easiest way to do this is to hover the mouse over the image, and right-click, select ‘save image as’. Save to your desktop. Visit tineye.comand upload the photo, this will show you if the image is elsewhere o...
The best places to find a registered cat breeder are through a cat association or by visiting shows. I recommend anybody who is considering adopting a purebred cat visit shows to meet the breed up close and chat to breeders. This is potentially a 20-year commitment, and homework is vital. Do not be swayed by a pretty website, anybody with the skill...
A few years ago I purchased a beautiful Oriental kitten, I had met his breeder at the show and she was lovely. Two weeks after we adopted him he died suddenly. The vet said it was hemolytic anemia and I suspected he’d eaten something he shouldn’t have, he was very obsessed with food and had once jumped into a bin after our scraps. I didn’t contact ...
