Thread: buying my kitten advice please

GCCF are notoriously slow at replying to queries but you never know - you may get lucky!

Thanks for the comments about my cats too...I must get the photos updated and we have a new litter of kittens to put on there too!

Anyway, even though you aren't worried about showing or breeding you still want to make sure that your Maine Coons is registered and full pedigree etc otherwise as you said, you may as well be buying a moggie. I would just contact the breeder and ask a few questions.

1: Are mum and dad both registered on the active register with GCCF/TICA
2: What are the full pedigree names (including prefix) of mum and dad (you can then research a little into the lines)
3: If you want your kitten registered with GCCF, would she be willing to do it? (It only costs about £10 I think so not expensive although she would have to do a little bit more work with the paperwork side of it etc)

Does the breeder have a website? If so I would be more than happy to take a look and see if I know of them at all.

If you get genuine answers back from that then all well and good. If not, as heartbreaking as it may be I would definately reconsider your options with regards to this kitten.

Hope this has helped
