Tips On Choosing The Right Breeder Of TICA Registered Ragdoll Kittens

By Della Monroe


If you have your eyes set on a purebred pet, prepare yourself to evaluate a few breeders. Just like when shopping for a new shoe, there are many factors to consider before deciding where to buy a cat from. Below are some of the issues to look into when searching for the right seller of TICA registered Ragdoll kittens.

After choosing the breed you want, it is important to find a reputable breeder to buy from. All you have to do is to list down names of the sellers in your area whom you can interview one by one. There are many sources of information on such businesses including animal shelter groups and veterinarians. You can also get more ideas from pet supplies shops, friends, co-workers and relatives.

The internet can also provide you with a wealth of information on the sellers you to work with. You will get to learn about the different sources to consider as well as a range of reviews. Most pet lovers post reviews on the kittens they buy either on blogs or the websites of the suppliers they bought from. They are likely to write on both good and bad experiences they had, and you can use that information to make a decision.

It is critical to go for a breeder who is well knowledgeable on the breeds they are raising. They should have some kind of formal education on proper breeding techniques if they are to produce quality pets. When talking to any seller, ask them for their credentials or academic papers that you can verify. To get healthy cats with pure bloodlines, it is also advisable to work only with persons who are duly registered.

To avoid regrets, there are certain types of breeders you should avoid at all costs. These include those who are offering kittens for over the internet. The fact that you will not get a chance to meet them at their premises is enough reason for worry. It may not be possible to verify the quality of the pets they offer or ascertain their health conditions.

Do not select any breeder without meeting them personally. The best venue for such a meeting is at their premises, and you need to book an appointment with them in advance. One of the critical things you should find out during your visit is their passion for the animals. If they love what they do, you are likely to find the animals kept in clean shelters and provided with all they need to grow up healthy.

Sometimes a breeder will take time to interview you on your ability to take good care of the animal. This is a good sign and an indication that they are passionate about the cats. Also, be keen on the first impression they create when you meet them. During your initial meeting, spend time to chat with them and ask them well thought questions and gauge their responses.

Research has shown that purebreds also suffer from certain health issues. You should ask the supplier about all the tests they have done on the pets and if they can provide the relevant certificates. They should also be willing to train you on taking good care of the cat once you get home. The training should cover various aspects including proper feeding, health care and socialization.
