What Should I look for When I Choose a Kitten?
If you want to make sure you get the perfect Kitten you should choose carefully. Try to look past all the cuteness and Look for these signs to pick the Best of the Bunch. Before you Go to Look
A caring, knowledgeable breeder will not allow you to take a kitten home untill it has had its vaccinations at around 12 to 13 Weeks. If you are asked to take the kitten before this then perhaps you should find another breeder. Find out how many there are to choose from before you go. If there is only one ask if you can see the rest of the litter. If your new kitten is a pedigree then you should ask about any breed related problems. Lastly before you go prepare yourself, it is very easy to go look and either come home with 3 or take the weakest one so you can take good care of it.
When you Arrive
Take your time, your kitten should be alert and friendly, and happy to be handled.
