But kidding aside, thats nice to read I wish the breeder we obtained Hank from remained in touch after the sale. We did email photo's of him to show her how he's doing but that was always our move and never by request. We never had any contact asking how he was doing which would have been nice.

Debbie and Louise you both sound like very good caring breeders. I have no complaint about the breeder we got Simba from but although I continue to send her updated photos I don't get any response back now so I presume she has no more interest in how he is doing. I'm happy if that is how she feels but with my dogs I am still in contact with their breeders three years later. One has become a good friend and I am always in constant contact with them. I enjoy showing them they made the right decision selling me their pups and showing them how well and happy they are. I'm not sure why Simba's breeder doesn't show the same interest.

What we got:
With him we got one month free insurance, small pack of kitten food, fresh litter and a small toy, a contract of what the breeder expected from us and a helpful sheet on a few simple basics on having a kitten, pedigree certificate, and he was also micro chipped, neutered, vaccinated and wormed.

All seemed in order so as I say no other complaints. We visited once before picking him up. Their cats seemed healthy and well cared for and they were a nice couple so as I say no complaints really - just proud of my boy

I would expect before buying a kitten
1)to meet one or both parents.
2)See where they live and what condition they are living in.
3)A pedigree certificate
4) vaccination certificate and proof of worming.

Apart from that anything else would be a bonus.
