~Buying A Kitten From A Pet Shop~

Sometimes kittens are available in pet shops. These kittens are unlikely to have come from a reputable show breeder and are most likely to have come from a pet owner with an unplanned pregnancy or from commercial kitten farms. There is some risk as to whether these kittens will be of good temperament or health as the parents cannot be seen and often little or no information can be given about their background or breeding.

It is no fun buying a unhealthy, weakly kitten and then dealing with the problems this presents afterwards - it can cause a lot of heartache so it is essential to find a good healthy kitten. Should any pet shop or the health of the kittens for sale cause concern they can be reported to an Animal Welfare organisation or local authority if the conditions warrant it.
