YO.
My mum is in her sixties, we recently lost my dad. She lives alone, and has decided to get a kitten. She grew up with Siamese and we always had them as children. For nearly six months we have checked rescues but - no surprise - siamese very rarely come in. (My Siamese boy is from a rescue, but he is old, with one eye )
I've talked to her about different breeds but she is set on a siamese. Happy to have half siamese, the pedigree is not important. She has found a kitten for sale which is four months old. The owner has health problems and is selling, with, I believe the blessing of the breeder (the queen also being sold)
I'm pretty skeptical. He is being sold for 250 pounds. I've seen a lot of cats in rescues because of health reasons. He is uneutered. What advice can I give her before she buys? This is money my dad left her do is his Christmas gift to her. I don't want to see her ripped off. What papers do we need to see? Breeder papers, vaccinations, health records? We've only ever adopted from shelters before.
CHEERS.
