Thread: Going to look at an MC some advice

I'm not a breeder but from my own experience and from all I have learned in this forum, good breeders will always require you to neuter kittens (or will have it done themselves). You only need to look at the sites of the many breeders on this forum as well as other sites out there to realise the expertise, care, effort and expense that they put into keeping the breed lines pure and strong.

So going back to someone who has unregistered breeding cats, you really have to ask how that happened. Either they were bred by a 'breeder' with unregistered cats - in which case you can have no idea what the kittens are, other than they may look like MCs, or alternatively they were bought from a registered breeder by someone who did not keep their promise to neuter them - which tells you a great deal about the sort of person who would do that.

A kitten of unknown heritage may be carrying inherent problems that may surface later in life, once you adore it and would pay any amount of money to keep it well. It may be a false economy.

Many breeders occasionally offer slightly older ex-breeding cats for rehoming - it's certainly something I would consider if I decided to expand my household. Hope you find the cat of your dreams - the wait will be worth it x
