After all, the cost of keeping any pet for its lifetime will dwarf the initial cost so how the kittens are reared, their health and temperament are all more important than price alone. Young - Female - Cat Hi, we are 3 female leopard Tabby and 2 male orange Pets and Animals. I think the price should be only one factor when choosing a pet. Today, they are one of the UKs favourite pedigree cats. Unfortunately it is not always easy to weed out unsuitable owners when the internet gives them all the 'right' answers to the questions they are likely to be asked.)Īnother point to be considered is the cost of importing foundation cats in certain colours and/or breeds which is bound to make them cost more to produce. (That method may also have unforeseen consequences since unscrupulous people could try to sell them on again for an even higher price. Funnily enough the rarer colours I was trying to promote were the hardest to place in homes because many people had never heard of them.Īdded to that I discovered that people took advantage of the lower price but did not keep to the agreement which was part of our transaction so I can understand breeders charging more if they can, perhaps hoping the cats will be valued more if the price is higher. The stud might be more expensive, further away or any number of other unexpected problems. This did not really work on so many levels because there are often more costs involved with one litter over another. When I was breeding Siamese and Orientals I always charged the lowest price I thought would cover my costs and did not distinguish between cats who were show quality or on the Active register because my agreement stated they were all to be pets first.
