Where to buy purebred cats

Bengal cat

There are many people who want to know where to buy purebred cats. It is a question that arises when looking for a specific cat, either because you have seen it in a photo and you liked it, or because you have had the opportunity to live with one of them and would like to repeat it again.

To make it easier for you, I'm going to give you a few tips so you can find your new four-legged companion.

It is important that you know that purebred kittens they are not free. You may have seen an ad on the Internet like "Persian cats gift", but don't be fooled. Often times these types of ads have been created by people who are only looking for one thing: to get money in exchange for scamming people. In fact, as soon as you ask for information, they usually send you a poorly translated message into Spanish asking you for an amount of money.

Taking this into account, never give money in advance, not even someone we think could be trusted, much less if we look for a cat on the Internet.

The purebred kittens can be found in breeders, pet stores and you can also find someone who sells them. But in any of the three cases, you have to make sure that the cat they are going to give you is 2 months old or older and healthy, because? For the simple reason that a cat that is separated before that age from its mother may have a very difficult time surviving, and if it does, it may have behavioral problems.

But if you don't care how old you are, I invite you to visit the Animal Shelters in your area, since, even if an animal is purebred, if it falls into the wrong hands can also end up in a shelter. He will not have a pedigree, but he will have a lot of love to give.

Having a cat is a responsibility

Before you start thinking about whether or not you want a purebred cat, it is important that you remember that having a cat is a responsibility that you must assume. A pet is not a toy and will have physical, emotional and health needs that you must attend to so that it is in good condition all the time. Remember that your health will be your responsibility.

You will have to think of a purebred cat that adapts to your lifestyle. Each cat is different and you will have to find out beforehand whether the cat that interests you, and its specific breed, has characteristics that suit you. But remember that even if they tell you that a specific breed has some characteristics and not others, then each cat has its own personality and could surprise you with its own peculiarities.

It is also important that you take other aspects into account, such as diet, if you want to castrate or breed him in the future, how to travel with your cat if you want to do so, if it will be a cat for a house or if you will allow it to go outside, etc.

Ask trusted people

Normally when you want to buy a purebred cat, the ideal is to confidently ask people close to you who understand these types of topics. Trusted people will not fool you and can help you find people who have purebred cats that they have later decided to ride for breeding.

However Remember that they will not give them to you for free and they will ask you for the money that they see most appropriate. They will probably give you the cat as soon as it is weaned but it will not have vaccinations or anything related to its health because it is still small. Once you have bought it you will have to take it to the vet to make sure that you provide good care in its health and development.

Beware of the internet

On the internet you can find many advertisements of people who sell purebred cats, and you may find the breed that you like to buy in the advertisement of a particular person. But you have to be very careful with this. In many cases, scams with the sale-purchase of animals are known and with cats it is no exception.

They may ask you to make income in advance to be able to reserve the cat or to pay for vaccinations before giving it to you or any other excuse. Never, under any circumstances, make any transfer or give money to people you do not know. They could keep the money scamming you and you will run out of money, without a cat and with nothing. On many occasions, the images that show you the cat are usually stolen from third parties to make you believe that they have the real cat, but they may not have a cat in their possession.

Make sure you comply with the guarantees

If you want to buy a purebred cat, the ideal is that it complies with all the guarantees and since you are going to pay money for that, you will have to make sure before spending even a euro.

There are many breeds of cats and each of them has specific characteristics that you should take into account. There are cats that are more active, others more calm, some have a lot of hair, others little and others nothing ... But what they should all have are the guarantees such as having 3 vaccines, a Dysplasia certificate and that both parents have a pedigree (demonstrable).

Give it a try even if it has no race

Although in this article we have talked about everything about how to buy purebred cats, remember that a cat does not need to be purebred to bring you all the unconditional love in the world. Cats are beings full of love, with their personality and their own idiosyncrasies that want to enjoy your company in your home. If you take good care of them and give them all the love they need, then they will thank you with growing up and They will always be by your side ready to purr, showing you with their presence and warmth that they are happy with you.

To give a cat that does not have a breed a chance is as easy as going to an animal shelter, asking your veterinarian, looking at ads on social networks of trusted people who give kittens, even picking it up from the street if you come across a cat that is alone and unprotected. In any case, take the cat to the vet so that in this way they can see its health status and update it on its vaccinations and needs.

How much does it cost to adopt a cat

In case you want to adopt a cat instead of buying it, you should know that in some shelters or cat adoption centers doing so is totally free, although in some of these centers usually costs between 50 and 100 euros, but only for the expenses incurred in caring for the cat before being adopted. This cost usually includes the veterinary check-up, the price of the first vaccines, the internal and external deworming and the microchip.

In order to adopt a cat, some requirements must be met:

  • Be of legal age and have a valid ID
  • Have a home and proof of registration to show that the cat will be given a home. Show that you have a home even if it is a rental as the contract for it.
  • Adoption contract

How much does it cost to buy a cat

In the previous point we have explained how much it costs to adopt a cat, but adopting is not the same as buying. By adopting you do not pay money for the animal itself, but when you buy an animal you are doing the sale and purchase transaction. That is, you are buying an animal and paying the money that they ask you and that the seller believes is convenient for their sale and benefit. You must be careful so that the price they demand is not too abusive.

In addition, since it is a purchase, do not allow it to be an illegal purchase, so the seller must give you guarantees that he has been your seller in the event that you encounter any kind of problem. Ask for a purchase invoice and if you have everything legal, it should be done without problems. Flee from people who sell animals and who do it illegally or in a way that is not respectful of animals or even people who want to buy purebred cats.

      Hi Carla.
      I'm sorry you didn't like the article. Anyway, let me tell you that we are all free to look for our cat in the place that we consider best.
      I am fully aware of the number of cats that live, or rather, poorly survive on the streets: I am taking care of a 7-member feline colony. Besides, my 3 cats are mongrels, and I did not change them for any breed, but that does not mean that I should not talk about breeds in a blog, because there are people who want to have one of that type.
      A greeting.

    Hello Ramon.
    You can look in the kennels in your area, or in pet stores. I even recommend looking in animal shelters, since there you can also find abandoned breed cats waiting for a new home.
    A greeting.
