Welcome to Gaia! ::

So you know what you want down to coloring, breed of cat and how much youd love to own your dream cat.

Breeders (or a good breeder at that) breed their stock to continue the good standards of the breed. The coloring, the coat options, and the temprements are all controlled through careful breeding practices. They also often show their felines to gain titles and awards to help promote their breed.

Keep in mind that when getting a pedigree cat, be sure to thoroughly check out the breeder of choice and wither or not the type of cat can fit into your lifestyle.

Please ask the following questions of your breeder. They should be straightforward with their answers and not try to hide anything.

~Are there any health concerns with this breed?
~What food do you feed?
~Has the kitten been exsposed to children, dogs, a wide variety of people?
~Are they up to date on their shots?
~What is the lineage of the breed?
~How much interaction have the kittens have?
~What kind of toys do you have for them?
~What type of litter do you use with them?
~Are the parents on sight?
~At what age do you recommend spay/neuter?
~At what age do you allow the kitten to leave the care of its mother?
~Do you recommend indoor only?
~Has any of the kittens shown signs of illness?
~How much is the kitten?
