Why You Should Use a Registered Breeder to Adopt Your Kitten

If you are looking for a new furry friend, you may be tempted to buy a kitten from a classified ad, a pet shop or a random person online. However, this can be a risky decision that may lead to health problems, behavioural issues and ethical concerns. In this blog post, we will explain why you should use a registered breeder to adopt your kitten instead.

What is a registered breeder?

A registered breeder is someone who breeds cats according to the standards and guidelines of a reputable cat association, such as The International Cat Association (TICA), The British Ragdoll Cat Club (TBRCC) or The Governing Council of the Cat Fancy (GCCF). A registered breeder will:

• have papers that show their membership and the pedigree of their cats

• provide a full vet check and behaviour assessment for their kittens

• Provide documents proving the kittens have been microchipped

• Provide proof all the breeders cats and kittens have been inoculated

• provide the right socialisation and care for their kittens

• offer ongoing support and advice for the life of your cat (Care Plan)

• follow ethical and responsible breeding practices

What are the benefits of using a registered breeder?

Using a registered breeder to adopt your kitten has many benefits, such as:

• You will know exactly what you are getting. You will be able to meet the parents and siblings of your kitten and see their health records, temperament and appearance. You will also know the breed, age and sex of your kitten and what to expect from them in terms of personality, grooming and care.

• You will get a healthy and happy kitten. A registered breeder will ensure that their kittens are vaccinated, microchipped, wormed, flea-treated and neutered before they go to their new homes. They will also monitor their kittens for any signs of illness or genetic defects and provide treatment if needed.

• You will get a well-adjusted and socialised kitten. A registered breeder will expose their kittens to different people, animals, sounds and situations from an early age to help them develop confidence and coping skills. They will also teach them basic manners, such as using the litter tray, scratching post and toys.

• You will get ongoing support and guidance. A registered breeder will be available to answer any questions or concerns you may have about your kitten throughout their life. They will also provide you with information on how to care for your kitten, such as feeding, grooming, training and enrichment.

• You will support ethical and responsible breeding. A registered breeder will only breed cats that are healthy, well-tempered and true to their breed standard. They will also limit the number of litters they produce and ensure that each kitten goes to a suitable and loving home. By using a registered breeder, you will not contribute to the overpopulation of cats or the exploitation of animals by unscrupulous breeders.
