Is there such a thing as a "bad breeders" list??

The more I search for a breeder, the more paranoid I am becoming about finding an ethical one who genuinely loves their cats and I'm terrified I'll end up going for a breeder who turns out to be someone who just breeds and breeds cats for money. It would make life so much easier if there was somewhere you could reference peoples' experience of breeders. I've tried googling the registered prefix for catteries but I can't find any independent thoughts, good or bad. I can't stop looking at my list to try and narrow my choices, it'd be great to know if any of those on my list are particularly good or at the other end of the scale, is bad.

There are quite a few 'bad' ones but I would not want to name them publicly - as I can't afford a court case :rulez:

I've replied to your other thread with a couple of recommendations of breeders I know personally. If you want to PM me with anyone you are considering I will let you know if they have a 'rep' - good or bad

I would suggest talking to as many owners of MCs as you can, and particularly those with cats of the colouring and features you would like. Personal recommendation is the best gauge after visiting yourself. When the time comes for you to actively start searching for a kitten, either go to one or two breeders with an open mind on colour and sex, or decide beforehand what you want and search for the right kitten, again visiting a select few breeders. Occasionally, a kitten will choose you and not the other way around, try to be flexible and you will find the right kitten.
