Thread: Top tips for contacting a breeder?

Yeah, a decent breeder will be as interested in you as you are in them; this is a good thing as it means they genuinely care about their cats and not just trying to make money. When they care about the cats, they'll take better care of them and will provide better pets. I've found that the better breeders will want to keep them with their mother for 12-14 weeks, whereas since that costs more, others will want them out 6-8 weeks old and don't give them a chance to socialize properly.

If you already know about the conditions in which the cats are kept, you won't have to worry about that. Ask what's endeared them to the breed- that's always an interesting question. If you follow that up with an explanation as to why you like the breed, it'll show them that you've done your research and will appreciate their cats.

If you're going to give the cat a good home, just be honest and upfront.
