Bear in mind that you may not pay full price for your new babe, but you could well end up paying more than the difference in vets bills ..... your best bet would be to go with recommendation ...
What about Sampson's breeder, does she have any kittens? Where do you live - perhaps there's somebody on this forum who could recommend a breeder to you?
How exciting tho, a new babe!!
Good luck & please keep us posted?

Sampson is Maine coon X persian not a pedigree. And yeah I understand about there could be a reason why it's cheap etc I live in London so choices are quite low. Have found a few pedigrees up north that is registered, fully vet checked etc for £200-£250, but in London it's so much more expensive.

We mostly want another so Sampson has a playmate and has company during the nights (I can't let him in my bedroom, he "slaps" me on the cheek to play with him lol)

I love the maine coon breed... can't say I love the price of them though hehe. Think we'll go for another cross maybe.
