Important Notice, please read this !
Pedigree kittens, especially Ragdolls are slow to mature, they grown and mature for 4 years !
The adverts I see on the internet from "backyard" breeders selling kittens at 8 or 9 weeks, they are not fully weaned
when taken away from their mother too soon, and SHOULD NOT leave the Breeders care until 12/13 weeks,
They should also be fully vaccinated and microchipped
All of my kittens come with full
health check certificate, and are vet checked at 9 and 12 weeks prior
to vaccinations by certified vet.
Certificate is given at time of collection by new owner.
Also there can be psychological problems when taken away from their mothers and litter mates too early.
If you want a healthy, happy kitten then wait until he/she has had all vaccinations, be microchipped and registered to you (the new owner), also and vet health certificate, plus should comefrom HCM negative/tested parents - ask to see test certificates
Also always go to a reputable registered breeder, but be prepared to wait !
Not all breeders have the care of their kittens at heart, many just want to make money from them !
Kittens should be fully vaccinated, microchipped, health checked and should not be homed until at least 12 weeks
This is advised by the Breed Clubs and Registering bodies in the Cat Fancy.
A "cheap" kitten is not necessarily a healthy one - thank you for taking the time to care.
