Buying a Kitten Offline from a Local Breeder
We all think that the best is to buy a purebred kitten from a responsible, local breeder. This way one can make sure that the cat comes from a trustworthy place. It is though very common that the untrained eye does not realize that such local breeders are undercover kitten mills that treat their breeding cats badly and do not follow the practices of responsible breeding. Therefore it is wise to ask the help of an experienced cat owner to help you root these breeders out, and guide you through the process of choosing a good, healthy kitten.
Buying a Kitten Online with the help of a Professional Kitten Finder Company
The ideal way to buy a kitten is from a local breeder (offline). However it is not always possible, as in some cases the breed you are interested in is not available in your country, never mind your vicinity. There are also some areas of the world that lack good breeding practices and sell gullible cat owners “purebred”, highly inbred kittens.
If you are not confident with the process of buying a healthy cat it is far better to use a Professional Cat Finder Company that:
- Helps select a responsible breeder and eases the process of buying a kitten.
- Suggests the breed that suits you and your lifestyle the most.
- Selects and audits the best breeders.
- Makes sure that the breeder’s breeding cats don’t have genetic problems. (Kittens are also examined by an experienced veterinarian who will also get them up to speed with all their vaccinations and required deworming.)
- Is responsible for the cat’s local and/or international shipping, always making sure that all the required paperwork is in order to avoid any problems.
- Takes responsibility and guarantees the health of the cats they sell.

It is also not uncommon for many European breeders team up with a Professional Kitten Finder Company whose job is to transcend language barriers and to help build trust between the people involved. These companies also make sure the kitten is in perfect health and that it is fit to travel to a loving home.
Avoiding a Scam
Rock bottom prices often come with their own risks. It is all too common that low prices mean that the kittens are coming from a kitten mill.
Scammers flood the internet with misleading ads. They usually use stock or stolen photos instead of using photos of their kittens. Professional Kitten Finders use more reliable means by using their own official website, official Facebook page, Instagram, Pinterest and other pages.
It is also important to never pay for your kitten using MoneyGram or Western Union as these services do not help you get your money back in case something goes wrong. It is best to pay using credit card as credit card companies always check the vendors very carefully.
A legitimate Professional Kitten Finder Company operates transparently and can be contacted in several ways. They provide references upon request, and have a Facebook page where anyone is free to comment. Another way to find out if a Kitten Finder Company or breeders are scammers is to ask if you can visit their headquarters and the breeder’s premises.
How to buy a Kitten from a Professional Kitten Finder Company
It is best to buy a kitten from a Professional Kitten Finder Company that has high expectations of its breeders. It is therefore very important to know the standards that these breeders are being held up to.
It is important to read client reviews and to contact the company through different available means before deciding on buying a cat. Ask their help to find a cat breed that suits you best and never forget to ask for references.
It always pays to checking the company’s terms and conditions carefully to avoid any surprises. Checking if the company offers any health guarantees or any other benefits is also very important. Be sure about what is or isn’t included in their stipulated price. Serious companies include the cat’s vaccinations, deworming, medical checks, microchip, airline approved crate, national pedigree and export docs in their final price. It is normal for transport costs not to be included as transport distances can vary greatly.
Buying an animal comes with its responsibility. It is best to consider if you are ready for such responsibility before committing to buying or adopting a cat. Cats need attention, patience and money; be extra sure that you are willing to provide your future kitten with all that is needed.
If you feel ready to deal with all of the above then please proceed to speak to the company about the kitten that caught your eye. Also, make sure that you are comfortable with the price and conditions of your purchase. Finally, if you genuinely feel that all is fine, feel free to press the order button and enjoy the adoption process and look forward in anticipation to a thrilling future with your new kitten.
